[QUOTE="BSK, post: 3362784, member: 17"] Thankfully, more and more I'm hearing hunters talk about how ridiculously fake these TV hunting shows are (which is true most of the time). However, what really worries me, and confirms what I've been saying for years--that the human mind is easily influenced at the subconscious level by repeated exposure to particular ideas/images--is that although hunters are finally CONCIOUSLY understanding these shows are garbage, many hunters have become obsessed with filming their own hunts. This rapidly growing desire to emulate is, in my opinion, an indication that the "message" of TV hunting shows have sunk in much deeper than many of us want to admit. Now I fully understand that some who film their hunts are simply trying to record the experience, but listening/reading many of the conversations that go one about filming hunts, and sadly looking at much of what is on YouTube and other internet websites, makes it clear that many are emulating exactly what they see on TV. This is ESPECIALLY true of the younger generation of hunters. To me, a very disturbing trend... [/QUOTE]
