I know it's not constructive to speak negatively towards our own so let me make a positive comment.
Could he possibly improve his presentations if he used a cough silencer.........instead of.....
I find him astounding.

This guy is a perfect example of being a TV star/celebrity or writer of some ilk, doesn't make you knowledgeable or palatable...

Like any other outdoor tv guy he was much better when no one had a clue who he was.
I cant stand any of the hunting shows anymore, from naming the deer on the "hit list" to naming the dam stands. Its all dog chitt now.

I think I saw him on a hunting show once and he seemed rather "intense" and quite loud.

He is a little too enthusiastic for me.
Honestly, I don't watch the "Hunting" shows much anymore, except the Africa-focused ones, and Shockey's stuff occasionally (Mrs. Shockey is just a sweetheart). There's very little there that has any semblence to what I do in the field.
What fresh Hell is this?

It is a terrible waste as the forum is there to teach, entertain and learn. We never got any of this in Oz and when My Aussie mates come over here and see what we have, they are very wide eyed at seeing all this game, the hunting scenes and terrain which is every educational and can be informative from a hunters stand point.
Then....the star open his mouth and spoils everything.
The other absolute hatred Aussies cannot help themselves in raising, is the complete absence of cartridge bullet and load and, the fast snip edit when the shot is taken.
When I started writing for Australian Gunsports Magazine in the late 80's, the editor was a great guy called John Robinson who was very helpful to me.
His advice was, "No-one gives a shiit how many punctures you had on the way there, or how good the flight or food was it is simply:
1. What did you shoot? 2. What did you shoot it with (Meaning full cartridge details and rifle set up) 3. What happened after the shot. (game reaction)
It was a winning formula with Aussies in that market as they are far in the majority handloaders who kill hundreds and sometimes thousands of animals a year. We has guys in SCI that regularly took a half dozen rifles and 2000 handloaded rounds of ammo away for a weeks hunt. They are very short on BS so I hope that illustrates my thought process on this. John
PS: I am working hard to adjust.

Outdoor shows here are based on the NASCAR marketing model for the most part.

Met the guy who hosts Extreme Outer Limits tv show last Jan at DSC. He's got to be the biggest dolt ever.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Who is Stan Potts. I never even heard the name before. He has a show called North American Whitetail. He has one eye fishing & the other looking for bait.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

Outer limits sucks. Dickhead sponsered by McMillan shooting game at outrageous distances. His hunts are those that most of us could never afford. Pay your own way and show me what can be done with our average optics and maybe , just maybe I'll take notice. Sorry thats not Stan Potts.
