How many people would be intersted in signing an online petition to boycott hunting shows that portray the following:
*High fence "hunting"
*Shots over 30 yards without disclaimers (EXAMPLE:Do not attempt shots of this distance unless you have thoroughly practiced at this range)
I also believe every hunting show should show a doe being taken at least once a season. They could have kids come on and shoot them for all I care, but they need to show it as a necessary management tool. They don't always have to show P&Y or B&C bucks being taken to keep us interested. I just want them to portray everyday deer hunting, like it really is. How many people do you know that shoot 5 or 6 book bucks a year? None I'll bet. These guys don't even do their own scouting. They have outfitters call them when the get a big one figured out. How often have you seen these guys kill a monster the first day in the stand? Sure it can happen, but over and over? They are ruining deer hunting. The fact that the OBR exists, proves it. I've said it a million times, antler worship is ruining deer hunting as we know it!
Sorry for the rant. Flame away!

Part of the reason I teater back and forth with Ted N. I love his compassion for hunting. I mean the guy gets every bit as excited killing a doe as a buck, and is not afraid to put it on video. I really admire that about him! But his views on baiting and high fence hunting leaves my stomach upset. I've seen a few episodes where he'll kill a deer and he's talking in a loud voice to the camera man, and you can still see deer feeding 20 yards away in the background!  |

I don,t even call the people on those shows hunters. I would like to see them come to Indiana and hunt puplic land without a guide they woundn,t have a clue.

Well, to be fair, most anyone who has recently moved into the area from a non-shotgun & treestand State hasn't got a clue... and won't have one for a long time unless a local takes the time and effort to show them the ropes... |

I'm with you on the Uncle Ted thing Stallion. But I couldn't resist saying "now where have we seen this before" when I found my arrow the other day.
I have quit watching most hunting shows alltogether for this exact reason. I watch Archer's Choice with the Ciancarulos, and I also catch Double Bull outdoors when I can. And Ducks Unlimited Television. Thats pretty much it.

That's the reason I'm somewhat anti-Ted. I lost alot of respect for him after watching his shows. Now I only watch when the description says something about hunting in Michigan. I still love his music. pre 1985 music, that is. ;D If he would just stop high fencing, I'd love him. |

Ted's a little extreme for me as well. To much exotic hunting! Was watching a show the other day with Wally Dallenbach. I forget the name of the show but it was ridiculus! Dallenbach was hunting in Iowa on ranch, and I can't remember if it was fenced or not but they were sitting in a heated ground blind and seeing 170-200 class deer. A large 210 inch deer walks by Dallenbach at 25 yards(hunting with a rifle) and he says to the guide that this deer is out of his price range, so he waits for a 170 and shoots it 35 yards. All of this happened within 30 minutes. Made me sick.

I either have the outdoor channel on or the western channel but then again there is not much on during the day. It is mostly for the noise. There are a couple of hunting shows that I like one being the Engles that hunt elk out west not high fence and of course the Fitsgeralds since they still do it the way I do. Those guys shoot does, six pointers, if its big enough to eat they shoot it. There was a show on today that the buck came out of the wooded area with its mouth hanging open and panting up a storm, totally winded, looked like it had been chased and chased hard. There had been a somewhat smaller one in the field befor it and it was not panting, did not see one doe. Figured it for a high fence pick your cost hunt.
Wally Dallenbeck's track and field is a joke. Do not watch it. Keith Warren is another high fence fanatic.

If you guys would switch to network TV, you wouldn't have to worry about it! The only shows I can watch (that I know of) are Buck McNeely and Eddie Brochin (sp?) both on channel 40 on Saturday afternoons. I'm usually doing something when they are on though.  |

My TV came with a cool little, hand held, plastic gadget, with a whole lot of buttons.
When you push one of those buttons, it changes to another channel.
It's really cool ! If I don't like what program is on, I can push that button and watch something else.
It has another button that actually shuts the TV completely off too. That is really cool also, because when there is nothing fit to watch, I can shut the dang thing off.
Just funnin ......

I couldn`t agree more Decatur-all the huntin` show`s showing all the B&C and P&Y bucks-all of the huntin` mags, the same thing-it`s got a lot of fellows all goofed up in the head. They`ve forgotten what deer hunting is supposed to be about. |

Old Ironsights-I swear, if I could, I`d be glad to take you out and show you the little bit I know about deer hunting. The 2 small places I have access to hunt are my buddy`s In-Laws places, and they`re barely big enough for 2 guys. I hate it for you that you`re struggling with the hunting here. I guess you`d be hunting public ground if you were hunting here, and public ground is sure enough tough. You`ve got to put a lot of boot leather down to get to know the lay of the land, then get into position WAY before the crowds move in opening morning. Truth is though, after the opening weekend, the crowds thin out quite a bit. |
