I shoot what I see,..and what seems to be good for the area...
Does, fawns, bucks, calves, ... if I can legally shoot it and use it, I will...
I get a kick out of some of the shows... especially the ones where "every" shot was a good one yet they cut away from the animal being hit and it's edited til about 20 minutes later when they are beside the dead animal.
I get a bigger kick out of the guys who have 20 or 30 pictures of all the bucks using their planted field, get in their blind and wait for "george" or "ruffy" the buck to come out.
Reminds of me ordering toys out of the xmas catalogue.
I rarely see hunting that reflects the hunting that many of us do.
No one ever gets their feet wet, or breaks out a few sandwiches, ...
no one ever falls arse over kettle,... no one ever drops their bullets or stops for a leak, no one ever blows their nose or scratches their ass,...
On the Newfoundland Sportsman show I find it's real...
I see the guys laughing and joking, out ofbreath trying to keep up with their bird dogs, taking spiker moose, missing rabbits, stuck on their quad or in their truck,...
one of Dad's friends did a bird hunt for one of their shows, ... they didn't get one bird all day, and actually submitted it,.. I saw it, and it was an enjoyable show.
Very much the same as many enjoyable hunts, have seen me leave empty handed..

I've never been to the maritimes, but I enjoy the Newfoundland Sportsman as well. A couple of guys that it looks like it would be fun to hunt with. At least they're not corporate shills that use whatever equipment that pays the most, not what is best suited for the job. Did you see the show where there were two guys standing in the front of the boat with their shotguns ready as it ran full speed at the sea ducks? The idea was to shoot the ducks before they dived without slowing down. Seemed a bit bizarre and dangerous but I guess that's the way they do it out there.
Pretty common here.
Most grouse in BC are shot sitting in a ditch on the side of a road, or flused into a tree. .22's, .420's and 20 guages are used for this, as well as big game rifles.
Yep pretty common here too, except we use 22's and .410 for chicken.Pretty common here.

i dont like the way the americans count their points and how they consider a spec of dirt on the antlers a point either
You forgot to mention that pics taken must have the shooter atleast 5 feet behind the animal. Whatever the max distance is he will still stay in focus. Why not beside the animal boys
If you use a wide angle lens you can make the animal huge by moving the hero back a smaller amount. It's more subtle, but very effective.Magazines are full of this type of shot. It also locks the attention on the subject and makes everything else background.
One thing that I've noticed about pictures of me and dead things is that nobody really wanted to see me anyway. I could be 50 feet back and nobody would notice.
Some would think it an improvement.

hahah
No need for trickery photo nonsense
You'll notice that Teddy is nearly an arm's length behind the antlers too. Sit in a chair with your arm extended, and it will more or less line up with your knee. Is that Kermit with him, or a guide?
