The one show that is always good and shows tihngs as they are, with good humor and good information, is the show by Ken Barrett of the Theodore Roosevelt Conservation Partnership. The show is called Life in the Open, and features a longer piece on hunting and a shorter piece on fishing, often in the same place where the hunt took place. Ken lives in Bozeman, MT, and has made shows there, and from Alaska to Africa. A friend of mine in Alaska helped him make two there, and they turned out really nice.
He's not only good at making the films; he's also a genuinely good guy, and fun to be around. And his advertising isn't by any of the companies selling firearms or other equipment, so none of that shows up to raise questions.
Other than Tracks Across Africa and maybe one or two others, I can't stand to watch any of the rest of them either.
