Am I just getting too cynical or are all hunting shows just infomercials anymore?
I went a while without cable then signed up. I only get the Pursuit Channel on my line-up, but I can view what's showing on the Outdoor Channel. Both channels look about the same except I see that for the next three hour the Outdoor Channel is running some 35 year old Mel Gibson movie. Is there really that big of shortage of quality outdoor programming?
I want to watch hunting adventures when I watch TV, not someone trying to sell an armchair outdoors-man something he doesn't really need.
Just had to vent a little; bout to unplug the entire thing.

That's how they are now. I got rid of cable/dish about 3 years ago. If I want to watch anything, I get it online and cast it to my t.v. YouTube has anything you want.
When life gets me down..... you know hunting/trapping season is closed.

I just checked and see that the Pursuit channel is showing an aoudad hunt at night with night vison, from the back of a truck at a feeder of course. What up next hour; spot-lighting deer?

I'm tired of the catch phrases. I sometimes watch with the volume down to avoid: 'Big buck down" 'Shoot em in the face" "Slock em" "Shank!' 'If it flies, it dies" Etc... Jim Shockey is about the only one I watch anymore.
I will gladly feast on those who would subdue me.

I’m tired of the commercials and all the advertising too. But what really bugs me is the lack of good picture quality from subpar video equipment being use to record the hunts. Also the people video taping not knowing how to video tape for tv. I watch hunting shows on the internet now mostly cause there are some guys that really put money, time, and effort into putting up a quality video rather than just a kill shot from 300 yards and a video camera that can’t zoom in far enough.
Cold as ice!

I'll consider watching again when someone tells me they actually recover a deer the same day its shot. "lets back on outa here and givem a chance to bloat'up good". I always thought that was rediculous, too. They'll put a great shot on a buck, at 12-1-2 o'clock in the afternoon, and when they recover it, it's pitch black outside or the next day!
