Stan has a good heart, so play nice.
Well, I would hope he does. I doubt he would be this juvenile as some of you have been on this thread. I wonder, would you say these things to his face.
Carry on.

Rubber boot hunters.....do they go from the deer stand to work in the rice fields, shrimp boats, or what?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

George,
Here's a list of some of the items from the comedy corner:
A baseball cap with a boar's head on the front, under "I'm a Swine for Eberle Wine." Bought it in the 80's when I went on my first pig hunt in the central valley of California near Paso Robles. Eileen and i toured some local wineries with a California friend.
A copy of THE BEST OF ED ZERN.
Two books by George Leonard Herter, and a 1974 copy of the Herter's catalog.
A cheesehead hat from Green Bay, Wisconsin, from when Eileen and i went to the last Packers game of the season 10-12 years ago (a friend has season tickets, and has long rented somebody's yard across the street from the stadium for tailgate parties.)
A teddy bear from the North Dakota tourism department, with a Teddy Roosevelt moustache, glasses and Rough Rider hat, given to me when I was on the board of directors of the Outdoor Writers Association and we had our annual conference in Bismarck.
A mounted male prairie chicken from Nebraska, which I got a dozen years ago. Gave it to a local Montana taxidermist for mounting, saying I wanted it strutting. He made it strutting all right, with its head up, sitting on a log.
Probably should lean my Lee Navy Sporter in the corner, because its action was one of the bigger jokes of the early days of smokeless powder.
There are several other baseball caps, but all are pretty common, like the one saying, "Vegetarian: Old Indian Word for Bad Hunter."

He forgot the Butt-out tool.... I go to a doctor every ten years that has one of those...with a little camera on the end. I don't like him at all.

I'm shocked at the amount of commentary here that I agree with. My hearing is not good (wear hearing aids), probably due to years of shooting with inadequate hearing protection. The whisperers drive me nuts. A lot of what I watch is with the sound muted. Occasionally if the area is not known to me I will put on the closed captioning to find out what they are describing.
One of the shows (I think maybe Nosler Magnum TV) they do have some details of the hunt location, etc. but it is displayed in a way that can not be read. I have even taped the odd show so I could replay and freeze the detail and have still not been able to make it out. Cripes does nobody ever critique their shows for them?
My favourite is Jim Shockey since he seems to have a lot of empathy for the people and lands where he hunts. Also he doesn't have an orgasm when he takes an animal.

Let's just say I couldn't bring myself to spend cash money on it!

Those are both pretty entertaining, but the Bull Cook book actually has some pretty decent recipes. One dove recipe is supposedly from Wyatt Earp, and Eileen tried it when she was doing her upland bird cookbook. It's damn good!

Yep. Stan gained some notoriety for the deer he was slaying back in the day. Then someone thought it would be a good idea to put him in front of the camera. That person is likely in another profession these days.

Come on now you pretend mountain men Luddites.
You guys are complaining about hunting shows and the fall of society due to the NFL, yet have posts counts on this forum in the thousands exaggerating 100 yard shots on whitetails the size of labs whilst arguing the minutiae of why a 129 grain 260 Rem loaded with 43.0 gr of IMR 4350 is significantly better than a 130 grain 270 loaded with 60.0 gr of H4831sc.
Yes, living vicariously on the internet is infinitely better than watching hunting shows or the NFL.
Let me tell you what the multi-billion dollar hunting industry does, it makes it darn hard to politically damage. Keep the products and money rolling and if Stan Potts helps do it, so be it.
And before you get confused, it's generally horrible viewing, but that's why I have a remote control. To turn to NFL Red Zone. Or off.
Thank goodness for choices, unlike southern hemisphere democracies.

He mostly hunted the fringes of dark timer and used a model 70 in .270 Ingwe Magnum......

The thing about those shows that bothers me is that all of the animals are shot in the daylight but a lot of the hero photos/video are taken in the dark. Muddy

Just once I'd like to see where they show someone hunting and you can hear other hunters' gunfire in the distance. IOW - they're not the only predator in the county....

I too miss the rifle/cartridge info. The old "me and Joe" stories of the big three from about 50 years ago always mentioned, somewhere, the rifle medel, chambering, and many times the type of ammo. Without that, the story seems incomplete to me. Not a product review, but basic info. But the same guys that bitch about the outdoor shows will still watch football games every Sunday where guys run into each other, scratch themselves in private places, stomp around in some sort of display after they accomplish something they get paid million$$ to do and never seem to get the absolute similarities and outcomes. Neither has made sense to me, but the NFL keeps making billions off of "Joe The Plumber" and millions like him, and they still keep paying and watching. At least the Outdoor shows aren't as corrupted with money and most everyone can engage in those activities, where football is "watch only"... Minority here... Can't stand sports , well shooting sports are ok,and can't stand hunting shows either. Refuse to watch both.
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Just be sure to not indulge in legumes, chili or pea soup the day before..
Believe it or not, I actually spooked a pig last season with a loud fart. It came out a lot louder than I expected and I immediately heard a commotion on the other side of some thick brush about 15 yards away. I then heard some pig grunts and all went quiet. She ventured out about 20-30 minutes later and I popped her. Wind may have been in my favor, but I can't recall..... It's good you shot her. She was looking to eat what died.
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.
