I'm pretty sure it was a poor attempt to try and silence the critics by somehow equating the genuine reaction of a child to the made for TV reactions we see in his industry. Like we couldn't tell the difference.

I as well guided many Americans over an eight year span, along with friends and relatives. Never has anyone acted in a robost, embellished childish manner as what is portrayed on these hunting shows. As in many disciplines in life, it appears that society leans towards extremes of individualism or the me, me only and only me. Their 15 minutes of fame is narrowed to only 5 minutes, because that is the extent of hunting on a 30 minute "side" show.

A little bit is excitement of the Kill the rest is excitement that they may become the next Mikael Waddle ! lol
The hyper ventilating after the shot is something I have never seen.
The acts of some should qualify them for Hollywood.
I sent a comment to Canada in the Rough and after the fifth attempt to enter the code word, the screen cleared.
Well it did go through - Keith Beasley asked for an example.
I gave him the one about geese bouncing off the ground and all the laughing that followed.
He replied back that I have an axe to grind.
A "Good For You" would be appropriate.

Same boat here. Hunting's being marketted as a jock sport more than anything now. Pretty sad as a lot of new hunters see this crap and eventually follow suit. Zero tradition left. The stupidest part is the heavy metal/rock and medievil theme music in the vids.
I have a friend who's new to hunting and I've stressed to him that if he wants to learn to hunt don't do it by watching crap shows like those.

What bearing does this have? Music isnt hunting related.....at all. Would you have the same opinion if it was country music? That not "traditional" either.

Let me just say first that hunting, fishing and hopefully trapping soon are a big part of my life. From a young age my next door neighbor taught me how to catch frogs and fish, his dad also was a trapper and my father was a bit of a shooter, having a farm meant the eradication of groundhogs and squirrels was a necessity and deer hunting,small game and ducks and geese are on the menu in my home....along with a north dakota Bison.
I've seen these hunting shows and can not watch them.
Let me summarize every show I've ever seen in a few lines;
*whispers* ok its 1 an hour before sun rise and we just rolled up on our yamaha, suzuki,kawasaki,bombardier, Honda side by side quad 484atvs and the land owner said that he saw a monster _______ yesterday and so we set up here. Let's see if we can get this big boy.
We are using this new aresol lure from buck bomb, liquid come here deer, scent bait, supper attractent and we are wearing Real tree mossy oak under armour Browning heated air conditioned mosquito repellent scent erasing invisible blaze orange? Camouflage....I wouldn't even try hunting with out it......oh there he is! *enter heavy metal guitar music* *whispers* gonna give him a short call on this Primos,Hunter specialty, Mic Lacy call...*BANG* (right in the front leg) WAHOO! DiD YOU SEE THAT?! Dumped him D R T! WAHOO! THiS remington, winchester, Rugger, Browning, Excalibur, Kimber 338. Supper duper magnum with the burris, Nicon, leupold, tritium laser mil dot rage finder 4-20x55 scope sure put this big boy down (and destroyed the front quarter). WAHOO, *football touch down dance*
Todays show has been brought to you by: yamaha, Honda, Burris, under armour,.....and the letter "D" for dumb.

On the complete opposite end are the guys who continue to whisper *after* they shoot the animal. That makes me chuckle even more
I know if you took all the commercials and advertising out you would only have about 10 minutes of hunting per show.
It's like Jim Shocky trusting his life to everything he hunts with. So when or how would a game camera save your life in a Grizzly Bear charge. The only way I could think of is to cover it in Honey and hope he chokes on it.
Way too many commercials and crap for me to watch. I rather do something else with my time.

Yeah...some of these seem pretty dramatic for the camera. Cody ROBBINS has to be the worst.
The following really get under my skin...hehehe
1) The pre shot "safety off" camera scene.
2) When no shots taken because camera not on or batteries are dead (good planning there).
3) Camoed up the ying yang...but using a bright pink bow.
4) And last but not least... the `BOO-YAH`guy...drives me up a wall! If he was at our Camp, he would be on potato peeling and outhouse duties.
Having said that, some of these shows are actually decent, especially some of the free range Africa hunts.

Probably the worst example of a "hunting" show I ever saw was a goat hunt. And I dont mean mountain goats. I mean billy goats living on a high fenced farm. They'd take a teenager out, pick a goat from the herd which was browsing about a hundred feet of away, put the gun on the a tripod and blow little billy goat away, then proceed to high five and shout about how the kid was now a "hunter".
It was a disservice to the kid, to the goat, and to hunting in general.

All the awesome hunters on this thread should get together and make a program, it would be so unbelievably fantastic that you could have a 24hr channel dedicated to it. Let's call it "CGN Experts". Sunray could be the show's moderator and everyone else just sits around a campfire asserting their superiority over other hunters. There would be no actual footage to back the claims of course. 
Also,at the same campfire,they can bash American 2nd amendment because of ar15.All the awesome hunters on this thread should get together and make a program, it would be so unbelievably fantastic that you could have a 24hr channel dedicated to it.

I have wild TV channel, I like some of them,dislike some of them.I don't care about the products they promote, but I do respect they do it. It is a job,a profession.
Can't believe CGNers tearing other fellow hunters for acting differently. To me,as long as you don't curse at the killed game animals, you can celebrate anyway you want,even in a fake way.
