re: As a hunter, do things ever bother you on some hunting shows?

Yeah, I agree.
That's why I'm sticking to OB from now on when I want to talk with sportsmen in LA. They were just a bunch of Db's about that chick.

I hate those shows. Dogs chasing bear and mountain lions is not hunting. These are not the old days where you have to kill the animals (mt lions) that you believe are killing your farm animals. And you cannot eat mt lion. They are simply killed for "sport". I feel the same way about paying money to go kill a fenced-in deer or whatever - there is no sport, and its not hunting - its simply killing. I know of a man that spends 5-10,000 dollars per year to kill a "huge buck" in a fenced area. So??? A 7 year old could do the same. Just dont call yourself a hunter, you're not - you're simply a killer.

I'm not a fan and rarely watch them. Like others have said, if they were educational at all I would probably watch more.

Feeding animals you kill should be illegal unless its an agricultural setting. How many deer hunters wouldn't hunt if they had to actual stalk for their kill.
Before I respond, I have killed a grand total of 1 deer over bait, it's not really effective for killing mature bucks so I choose not to hunt that way.
What is the difference in killing a deer over a corn or bean field in an agricultural area, killing a deer over a food plot, killing a deer under an oak tree or persimmon tree, and killing a deer over a corn pile? In every instance the deer are coming to eat. In every instance you have to play the wind, use caution when you raise your gun or draw your bow, and make a good shot. What's the difference in using scents and calls for that matter? Every hunter tries to create an advantage, whether it's scent eliminating spray, scent lok type clothing, grunt calls, rattling bags or antlers, trail cameras, compound bows, mechanical broadheads, scopes on high powered rifles, and on and on. Unless a person is crafting their own bow, carving there own wooden arrows, and wearing clothing crafted from animal hide, then they are gaining an advantage over the purest form of hunting.

What's so wrong with stalking in on pigs? I've done it several times.
And I don't personally have a desire to hunt dangerous game, but I see no reason that others can not hunt them. In Africa, at least, the local economy has become dependent on these hunters and ALL of the animal is used after the kill.
I would like to a see a good informative show on trapping though.
A hunting show designed like In Fisherman, one of the few good fishing shows, would be refreshing.

i rarely watch any of the deer shows being i'm a duck hunter. I was watching drakes migration nation the other day when they were hunting some canada goose. the guides did a good job of calling them in close but what bothered me the most is when they were in shooting range they would yell "kill em" who the frick says that? it's TAKE EM. just my .02

Screw that, you and all your advanced weapons and clothing advantages. The only real hunter is a naked bare handed berzerker.

I talked to a guy at my archery pro shop that actually said anyone that hunted with a compound wasn't a "real bow hunter"

Next time you see him, let him know that unless he's making his own bow, his own bow strings, napping stone points, wooden arrow shafts, and fashioning arrow vanes from wild turkey primary feathers that he's not a "real bow hunter" either...
Theres elitist in everything. I know turkey hunters that look down on people if they use blinds or decoys. Ridiculous. They normally change their tune when confronted with excerpts from the colonial era describing Native Americans making blinds and tethering live turkey hens to a stake as a real life "decoy"..

That he killed with his bow as well.

There is hunting and there is murder. A man has to choose.

The ones that bother me the most are when they take a first-time hunter out and put them in a blind or box for a "setup" kill. Then, they act like the hunter really accomplished something when they frag some animal who was setup while out looking for something to eat.
Sorry, but that's not hunting. That person will never be able to appreciate that animal as much as a hunter that spends long days, weeks, or months finding an animal under natural conditions and finally making a kill. That is when you really feel an unforgettable thrill that is worthy of the game being pursued.

I saw the exact same video and had the same feelings, thats not hunting, thats just shooting
You my boy, Hat. If I remember correctly, she was just sitting around and they called her on the radio to tell her they had one treed and the she rode a four wheeler over there.
That's messed up. You can't use dogs/bait in Oregon for cougars or bears. At least that way it's more fair. Although the state government is trying to overturn the law on cougars that the voters voted on twice. They say the population is exploding and causing problems.

And another thing, I love hearing the "hunter" in the video saying how hard they hunted that particular day. Yep, hard alright, getting up, jumping on a 4-wheeler, wheeling to the blind/stand, and sitting on their asses until something shows up.
I don't know about most of y'all, but living and hunting in Colorado the past 25 years has taught me that people who sit still for 10 hours at a time generally don't see shite or fill the freezer.

I used to work with a fellow who believed this. He called the pulleys on compound bows "training wheels."

My wife and I watched "Gun it with Benny Spies" on Versus I think. She and I were both put off by how disrespectful he was toward the animals he killed. On one show he strapped the deer to the back of his Winnebago and just drove off. I just think deer are graceful creatures and they should be treated with repsect when you kill one. I won't be watching Benny anymore.
