Right, the famously ineffective principle form of Catholic birth control.

The old pull and pray.

Perfect world we live in today.... As I'm Tim McGraw song says, " you ain't gotta dig too deep to get a little dirt on me"....

That being said, Jason matzinger laying with his bow is sickening!!! 😂😂

That German prince can shoot running boars, no doubt about it.

Watched em (Aimpoint Wilde Boar Fever) on YT.
Pretty good.

For other Youtube........

Leatherwood Outdoors



and

The Hunting Public

Leatherwood outdoors on YouTube is one of my favorites.

I take it as meaning "oh oh, I made a bad shot, and hit the gut, so it's going to take that deer a while to die." I have seen that happen a number of times on those shows, and it was very obvious that it was "operator error"........something that happens, but also something that is usually caused by either rushing the shot, or by taking a shot for the sake of the camera.

Anyone who has hunted for any length of time is going to have things like that happen, however, it happens much more frequently on these hunting shows than it does in a non hunting show situation. Most of it is preventable.

All these reality shows are fake, they are scripted and the made to fit into the script. I just saw that on my computer. look it up if you don't believe me...fake fake fake....

I’ve noticed a few “interesting” things while watching Outdoor Channel, Pursuit Channel, Sportsmans Channel, etc.

Of course, we should start with “a bit far back,” “smoked him,” “I tell you what,” "That's what I'm talking about," and “harvest.”

Hunter drops an elk with a spine shot, and the guide says, “Great shot!” Didn’t the hunter accidentally hit it a foot high?

Whispering the range to the shooter with unnecessary precision: “He’s 213.6 yards away.”

Lowering the rifle from the shoulder between shots. (One TV hunter lowered the butt of his shotgun almost to his KNEES before he racked the slide for a follow-up shot.)
Not knowing the difference between horns and antlers.

FIVE people (shooter, guide, main cameraman, host, and second cameraman) “sneaking” in on an animal and then wondering why it spooked.

Hunters stuffing an ENTIRE elk leg (bones and hide all the way to the hoof!) into their packs and hiking five miles back to camp instead of taking a few minutes to skin/debone and greatly reduce the humpage factor.

“Bolt actions recoil less than semi-autos because they have fewer moving parts.”

“You can get an AR-15 in .308 Winchester.”

Says “It’s 180 yards, but I have complete confidence in my XYZ muzzleloader,” goes prone, and manages a complete miss. (And his target wasn’t a ground squirrel; it was a freakin’ brown bear!)

Superfluity: “We need to sneak in undetected without being seen.”

On one of those long-range hunting shows they shoot 780 yards at a nice Sitka buck, and you can clearly see the vapor trail. When the bullet is halfway to the buck, he starts to move forward. By the time the slug arrives, the buck has moved 4-6”. Fortunately, it’s still a fatal hit, and the buck drops after stumbling 70-80 yards. Hunter says they are “all out of gas, so we’ll pick it up in the morning.” When they arrive on scene next morning, Mr. Buck’s belly seemed bloated, so I hope they were able to salvage the meat.

Hunter and guide see a bear on a far-away hillside. Although they had plenty of cover to approach to within 200 yards, they elect to shoot from 828 yards with their super-duper long distance rifle. “Hunter” shoots TWO FEET over the bear’s back.

Dreadful grammar:
“I’ve did it before.”
“A doe had came out of the woods.”
“We seen the elk…”
“I had just went to my stand…”
“We done hiked twelve miles…”
“I come up the hill…”
“We was just getting into position…”
“Him and I drove to the farm…”
“Where you at?”
“Me and him were really looking forward to this hunt.”
“He’d only ran 50 yards before expiring.”
“I’ve drew too soon on incoming bucks many times.”
“We’d saw some coyotes in the field.”
“They might’ve saw us.”
“I could’ve tooken that buck, but he was bit too small.”

Ludicrous misuse of the word “literally”:
“My stomach was literally tied in a knot.”
“The buck came to us literally on a string.”
“My heart literally jumped out of my chest.”
“The buck literally walked on top of us.”
“The deer literally turned itself inside out as it escaped.”
“My head literally exploded when I muffed the shot.”
“The bull literally vanished into thin air.”
“We were literally sitting ducks.”
“Missing that deer literally turned my world upside down.”
“We were literally actually right on top of him.”
“The deer were literally hammering the soybeans.”
“Chasing that deer was literally a roller coaster ride.”

All that said, I like shows by Shockey, Rinella, and a few others.

The first of their stuff I ever saw was the one I posted

Liked the one w grampa, dad and daughter...........cleaning a doe.

Their stuff isn't perfect, but thats part of why I like it. They are who they are and are having fun outdoors.

Same as the guys in the Hunting Public.
Overuse the word "dude" LOL............but that's who they are and they are having fun and being themselves.

Good camera work, lots of effort............and it comes across as enjoyable/entertaining.

DVDs................I have bought several of the Whitetail Adrenaline ones.
Met a couple of them at a Deer Expo.

Super nice guys.

I'm sure if somebody put a camera on our hunts people would bash em for being different from what they do.
Takes some guts IMHO to put your stuff on Youtube.
Lots of A holes there, many of them supposed hunters too.

Might try to document this yrs deer season.

I kinda like the Path Films NZ approach.

Embarrassed to say I forgot them in my initial post.
Their stuff is top notch.

Hunter porn. Never understood the appeal.

That could be the gayest picture i’ve ever seen.

Me three! I don't watch too many but like these. The whispering on some of the others drives me nuts when I happen on them channel surfing.

Queer guy as a deer guy...Laffin 😎

Got a close friend in the industry that is a cameraman for one of the “long range” TV shows. The misses are numerous, as I suspected, but the number that are wounded will cause you to weep. Don’t tell that to the guys that post on the Long Range Hunting thread....they’ll call you all sorts of names.

Hunting for money, whether long range or short, causes some people to do stupid things that they may not do otherwise...

I like a pack in hunt cuzz I will never do one in my life time .but when they have to show all the crap that they [ use] on the trip it just makes me turn it off

Somebody, gonna crop Clark's mug onto this or do I have to?
