There is alot of talk on here about how deer hunting shows
affect other hunters expectations. How does it affect yours? For
me personally, I have hunted in Tennessee for going on 45 years
and I know what is real.
I must admit I like watching them though, but they don't change
my expectations. I guess they do make me dream more and get me
excited for the season. As far as the products they endorse,
some are good......and some are not "REAL".

I was infatuated with killing big mature bucks before I ever watched any hunting show. Not all hunting shows are fictitious, for instance, lee and Tiffany along with the drurys, have gone 46 days without killing a buck,just because they are hunting Iowa, that doesn't mean that a booner is waiting for them behind every tree, they still work hard for their big bucks.

I love watching them and don't mind all the commercials selling some neat products...... After hunting for more then 30 yrs... in Florida and Tennesse, I realize that alot of bucks killed on T.V. will probably never walk in front of my stand... A lot of these guys on T.V. get to hunt the best areas and managed properties in the U.S. It also doesn't hurt that they have guides and property owners helping them locate these mature bucks.... Having said all that, maybe one day I will win the lottery and visit some of those great hunting properties..... For now, I'm happy that I'm in good health and still get to enjoy this great sport we all have in common...JMO

Where I hunt, I think you can kill a great TN buck. What I mean by being great 120" to 130" buck. Does have to be this big. No!!!! Not for me to be happy. I do like them to be 3.5 years old

Just to add some perspective to this I was watching some last night (I love them but realize they arent realistic) and here are some facts.
Lee "We have 600 acres of food plots." I dont believe this counts farming fields this is what they plant for hunting locals.
Guy from Dream season Celeberty: "This is our 12th straight day hunting"
Now I have so goals in my life to aquire land and so on and so forth but 300-500 acres of mostly hardwoods is as much as I can reasonably expect. So 600 acres of food plots and hundreds of stands and probably hundreds of trail cams all seed stands and cams for free aint gonna happen. All this and in some seasons Lee has hunted 50 something days before getting a good video/kill opportunity at a mature 150+ buck
12 days straight: Doubt that will ever happen for me unless I live on the land and even then my prospective wife would probably put my foot down at some point. Maybe when Im retired...another 25 years minimum.
This is just the reality of what they do to put those shows on the air. I believe I can see and have a crack at 1 3.5 or better any year here in KY. Last year was the pits for weather but I still had a shooter at 70 yards and passed numerous 115's. However, I spent a lot of time on stand averaging 15 hours a week through out the season....

Hunting shows are no different than any other show you watch on TV, its entertainment and commercials and should be viewed as such! I dont blame these people for getting paid to do what they love to do. Now the bogus bs they spew to sell a product gets old, but its what pays the bills and anyone watching should view it as such! Its all about the money boys and girls, the hunting industry is absolutely no different, its all about the money!!!!

I have hunted DIY style for 15 years and I know what is real and what isn't, thus I take MOST shows with a grain of salt! I believe MOST IF NOT ALL shows are misleading to some extent because they do not show "everything" that happened during the course of the hunt in the "exact order" it took place. IMO, this sends a deceiving message to the average hunter who does not know any better. Furthermore, I was in northern IL this past weekend looking at some land and met some of the Drury film guys as they were looking at the same land to film hunts on this fall. We discussed this exact topic and they admitted themselves that most if not all shows are cut and edited to death to depict a certain scenario when truthfully that is not how the hunt happened. This is why I have little to no respect for MOST hunting shows!

What I like most about deer hunting shows is the memories it brings out about my own experiences. Usually just the terrain they are set up in or just how the area may look, gets me to thinking about particular hunts in my life. And like some others have said, you can tell when its obviously "fake" or set up. i.e. Hank Parker, Jimmy Sykes. I love being in the woods and tv helps with a little supplement when the real deal can't be done. And even though the volume may be on, I rarely listen to what is being said. If you want to learn something... buy a book, read it, and most importantly understand it.

Most shows have the up-to-date gadgets and equipment. I like to see what is new on the market. I've bought many products on those shows and some work well and some do not work as well. I also just like to see hunts from other parts of the country and also find that watching those guys and gals getting all pumped up before and after a kill also gets me fired up for season.
It may not be the kind of hunting the average hunter around here is but it IS hunting just the same.

Interesting.....that is where I am different I guess. My moral fiber would not allow me to promote ANY product that I did not believe in myself.

I saw a show where I guy discussed seeing 120 P and Y bucks during a season before making a kill (please note, 120 is not the score, that is the number of P and Y bucks seen) Now where are you hunting that you see 120 P and Y bucks during a season as I would seriously question whether or not that is behind a fence.
If you chose to hunt high fences, that is fine, but don't equate your success with your hunting ability.
Personally, I'd like to see a show that addresses public land hunting. I'm not talking about focusing on filming kills per say (they would need a lot of extra tape), but a show that addresses the realities of public land hunting in different states.

I understand where your coming from Andy, but its part of the business. Tournament fishing is the same way. I used to get a new boat every year from Nitro/Tracker Marine/ Bass pro shops. Nitro was not my first choice but when it was free I loved it and told everyone how much I loved it. Same with all my other sponsors, it was easy telling people how well a 'predator spinnerbait' worked when I had an unlimited supply for free, etc. etc. Im sure Tiger Woods may not have really liked Nike clubs to begin with, but ask him now and I guarantee you he loves them! ITS ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!

You could film most of this show in your living room, as their would be very little Killing going on! And that wont sell tape, it takes killing, and killing Big bucks to sell tape, which is exactly why the most succesful shows are killing big bucks, lots of them! MONEY!!!!!!! Bottom line is you have to take these shows for what they are worth or you are going to be really disappointed down the road!

Yea but there some of the people I hate the most. They tell you a bunch of crap just to make a dollar on you! Like the cuddebacks biggest waste of money around nothing but junk! Yes I bought them because I was dumb enough to think surely they wouldn't support JUNK. WRONG a liar is a liar and I hate LIAR'S! The Drury's Are the most arrogant product thieving jerks I ever met! There's no way I can support shows or people like them!

Haven't watched a hunting show in years. Maybe they've changed recently, but nothing I ever saw reflected the realities or the methods I'm familiar with.
Aldo Leopold once said something to like, "ethics is doing what's right even when the wrong thing is legal." How true! I don't have time for someone whose ethical code would allow lying just to make a buck, even if it's legal. I don't want to spend time with them personally and I don't want to watch them on TV.

I agree with you Andy, but if you were in the buisness, you might have a very hard time getting the sponsors that you believe in to jump on board. But you still have to pay your bills and need hunting products. I would imagine the more well known outdoor celebrities can be more selective in the companies

Yea I think the Drury boys are the real thing for the most part, but I buy and watch the full length videos not the shows.

Most of the time they edit out the "hunting" part. I watch them sometimes because I like to see deer.

Sometimes you watch these shows and wonder how in the world they ever got the production off the ground and we're picked up by the Networks. Wildgame Nation comes to mind as possibley one of the worst hunting shows out there, yet, sometimes, I can't help but watch it.... Its so terrible that its mildly entertaining.
I must be the victim of subliminal overtones. -Next thing you know, I'll be sitting on a field edge, hunting over the latest commercial bait pile and making a fool of myself.

It could be considered the original "reality show"!
Heavily edited and doctored show to present predetermined results in what is billed as "reality"! 
I haven't seen one in years. No cable tv around here. I used to watch them on outdoor channel though.
Just watch for entertainment value and amusemnt when you can't be out there making it happen for yourself. Then all is well.
Grain of salt kinda thing.

You guys have me fired up about hunting shows..... I'm going to watch a few on Demand (Comcast) and wish that was me hanging in that tree, when that ole buck comes out..... I don't care if it's in Texas and all the deer are coming to the corn in the road.... I don't care if its in Illinois were some property owner or guide put me in a tree and told me about a record 12 point that comes out every evening.... Its all hunting right.... I don't know, maybe it depends on what each individual gets out of it...... If a rich man has 20 record bucks on his wall and a poor man only has one record buck on his wall.... If both are happy what does it matter.... Lifes to short to worry about the small stuff... Lets go hunting...

I like the old films with Fred Bear, but they probably wouldn't
go over with todays viewers. Not technical enough or enough Hi
Def., but they seemed more like real hunting.
Who can remember the polar bear hunt where Fred was hiding
behind a big chunk of ice....hiding from the bear that was
hunting HIM. He ended up saving himself and the camera guy with
a quick shot to the heart.
By the way.....recurve bow...with a hand sharpened Bear
Razorhead broadhead.

Hunting shows are no different than any other show you watch on TV, its entertainment and commercials and should be viewed as such! I dont blame these people for getting paid to do what they love to do. Now the bogus bs they spew to sell a product gets old, but its what pays the bills and anyone watching should view it as such! Its all about the money boys and girls, the hunting industry is absolutely no different, its all about the money!!!! Exactly! If I had one, I'd push the sponsors products even if I didn't like the product...it's the money Interesting.....that is where I am different I guess. My moral fiber would not allow me to promote ANY product that I did not believe in myself.
Sorry, but my family is first and if my living depended on the money I brought home from hunting shows and advertising, things would be different.

Different how? By misleading others by promoting a product/gimmick that you KNOW is hogwash? Would you willingly misrepresent the truth to others for you and your family's gain? I would not; that was the point I was making! I could not sleep at night if that were the way I provided for my family.

Exactly. Because of what I do for a living I get asked to "endorse" products all the time. I won't do it. People rely on my unbiased opinions about products/actions and I am going to tell the truth about anything I've tried. If it sucks, I'm going to say so.
That's why Cuddeback won't speak to me anymore!

Hey Brian, I am still interested in filming a trail cam survey segment with you. I will not promote junk myself, thats why I have a limited amount of sponsors.

Happy to do so.
The QDMA's book on trail cams is supposed to be out soon. Last I heard it was about to go to the printers. I wrote two chapters for the book.

I particularly enjoy the Drury videos as they are first class....dont care for the texas ranch ones where the deer look like cattle standing there in the same sendero 10 bucks and 20 does deep. It is so obvious the camera operator tries to keep the views down at time to make it look more difficult of a hunt than it is but anyone can tell there is no comparison to "real" woods hunting.......
just saying.

I like hunting shows less and less everytime they come on.a bunch of idiots telling others how to get that big buck.They don't even know where they are hunting most times .the guide saves them prime spots while the guys paying to hunt the same land get lesser stands.
i do like watching the drury videos because they atleast tell a story.

The only thing I don't like about them is that they pass up on bucks I would shoot in a heart beat.......

Can't stand the Drury's. Love Uncle Ted and Like to listen to Charles Alsheimer. Lee and Tiffany deserve a slap in the face. Stan Potts sounds so much like me when I shoot a Deer ..."OHHH DEAR LORD!!!!!!...."

They are entertaining but they ARE NOTHING MORE THAN ADS FOR PAY TO HUNTS. How many places do they have to pay to hunt on.
