Or...." When in doubt...back out.
Isn't that a birth control method?

Bonus 'points' for " kickers and stickers".... And big time points for any buck " We have a lot of history" with, preferably one with a name like Dennis Rodman, Hollywood, or The Big Nine.

Once got to see an out-take from a Craig Boddington video, where after killing a kudu Craig does the "counting" act with the stripes on the hide--and does a great job of imitating the typical TV deer hero....

I rarely watch TV, let alone hunting shows (honestly can't remember the last time I saw a complete show, but it has to be 10+ years) however I remember one where a hunter and his guide were discussing the hunter's Nikon scope and how it is "the best on the market".
I also learned that the T/C contender is THE rifle to have.
I learned a lot from that show, and am a better hunter because of it.

I'd guess the hunting shows are heavily dependent on sponsors, and the marketing "gurus" at the sponsors have a strong influence on how the shows are presented. So no, you will never see guys in t-shirts and jeans killing big deer, and especially not with old rifles Then you have good old competition where people running shows are trying to make theirs more interesting than the 40 other shows that are on the Outdoor Channel & Sportsman TV. So you get fake drama, bad humor, and weird chit. I do watch the shows occasionally because they show hunting places & methods different than my own, so it's moderately interesting. Shockey's shows, FWIW, are usually well done. Respectful of the game, well photographed, no goofy fake drama.

While reading the paper this morning I had a show on and they shot "Ralphie"! Jim

Fun thread. I got to watch part of the filming of a hunting show which took place on a large Utah ranch. It cured me from watching those so called hunting shows.

I still like hunting when it's nasty. I've always liked hunting in the rain, not downpour, but a drizzle.
I don't carry shooting sticks, seldom a sling. My clothing/boots/binos/rifle with ammo in belly and a knife.
That takes care of most things these days. Im with you on all the above, but when Im expecting the Great Migration to go through, I usually have two spare shells.... A sling is a rarity these days....sometimes use it to carry the rifle back out if Im dragging something dead, but frankly, Im getting to old for that schitt. My last Axis...shot from a quickie brush blind...guide comes to pick me up- he is my age- asks if I got one. Yes...hes about 250 yards off into the bush... " Lets go back to camp and get a couple young guys...." THIS is the wave of the future for this kid! Big Mike or Uncle Randy?
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

Or...." When in doubt...back out.We will come back in the morning and look for him..."
After a bowhunter gut shoots something...which is frequently. And after a gun shooter shoots one "at the back of the lungs" which is more frequent than bowhunters it seems.

I have seen more P O O R shot placement with archery than modern guns, however... the WORST incident was the LAST Elk hunting show I watched, which has been at least a year, the 'shooter' made a shot and the partner (guide) said, "Good Shot". The next scene the Elk was hopping, carrying his right hind leg ! ! Yeah! good shot.....NOT! Jerry

Something bothers me about the heavy use of trail cams and the naming of deer.
I love the stoney point shooting sticks/bipod

The tail camera's have almost eliminated the surprise factor of seeing a buck that you've never seen before.
