So, I'm down with Strep Throat and have been on the couch for three days. Normally because I work, have honey do's, kids, and enjoy the outdoors, I can occasionally catch a hunting show or two. I have viewed many in the last few days and I'm not impressed. Maybe it's cabin fever......maybe it's the real fever but my gosh do these guys make hunters look like blood thirsty killers that only care about getting the "trophy". I mean the anti's can just take snipits of some of these shows with the first pumping after shots and some of the verbage and use the crap out of it.
I'm 46 years old and can remember when the only way to watching hunting shows was public TV or videos and both were educational. Now, it's entertainment and product pimping. Good lord, how did we ever hunt without Thermacells, Ozonics, and Apple Crush (or whatever they call it)?
Don't get me wrong, I think there are a few that still try to do it right but, does it have to feel so much like a business? As much as Uncle Ted is sort of "out there", I feel he is an ambassador for hunting and the outdoors. Some still promote the family aspect and educating our youth which is a true positive.
I know that I am free to make the choice not to watch and that's true but again, I worry about the anti hunting groups getting ammo from the very people they wish to stop......us. I just wish it was toned down a bit.
I welcome all opinions but I am not trying to incite a riot here......not my intent!! I am a firm believer when the hunting community fights amongst ourselves....well that's what the anti's want.
