I think hunters and anti's alike should boycott this guy. He gets his income from his popularity and he is one case where the public can show him that his behavior is unacceptable.

Man i'm speechless what the ???? was that my god it's guys like that that gives us hunters a bad name
the real hunters that is. I hope this screws his career for good .After the bear was hit it just walks away
you would think knowing that the bear was tame as soon as he seen him he would of had a change of hart
it's like hunting bears at Marineland

I see your point but not in a billion years will I boycott anything for anti hunters. Even though this guy is a clown.

I believe this happens more often than we know .
TV shows same hunter taking trophy bucks every year.
You and I would be very lucky to get one of these bucks every 5 to 10 years.
Amherstburg Ontario Deer ,Bear, Moose, Turkey, and Coyotes.

Hunting, ice fishing, hunting, woodcarving, did I mention, hunting.

I think you might find more of these shows are questionable. Remember Henry and Italo. They were charged and convicted from what I recall for illegal activities while filming shows. It's amazing how editing can make things look different!!I've also watched scenes showing poor firearm safety with regards to handling. Guns pointed at other hunters. I've stopped watching hunting shows altogether now.

I've always thought many of these hunting shows foster a negative image of hunters to the non-hunting public.
Although I understand much of the excited energy displayed after the kill, high 5'ing, uncontrolled laughter, etc.. Too many of the non hunting public, I think it is perceived as disrespect to the animal, and I also have to admit, that much of the celebration is over the top.

Ya some of it can be good entertanment when i was young and didn't know any better
there hunting a ranch and there called pros let them come here and see how well they do
and lets see if they have 15 monster bucks at one time in front of them not sure if in some places
it's not impossible but not likely in my opinion.

I've heard stories (not sure if they are true) of guys using caged birds that are released and shot on film for shows (of course the fact that they are caged is edited out). This I think is a criminal offense under the criminal code. I hope this is not true.

Didn't watch the video, and won't provide any traffic to an anti-hunting website. That's as bad as watching Global Tv

So you would rather not know about it? Sometimes you need to read, watch things to be properly informed to form balanced opinions. Refusing to get information when it is available means you just want to bury your head in the sand and pretend this crap is not going on. The only way we as a hunting community are going to stop this kind of thing is to realize it is going on and call them on it when it comes known.

Or quit supporting it by watching it. The more people who watch the higher the ratings go. If less people tuned in, the channels would stop showing the shows and the sponsors would then withdraw as well.

I agree with you there, most of the shows are getting pretty lame. I still enjoy Canada in the rough, the rest I don't watch. I used to enjoy Jim shockey but he changed his time slot and all he hunts is strange places and weird animals these days for the most part. However I don't think you are going to stop these shows. I think most are rich guys that like to watch themselves on TV. I don't know how much they care about who else is watching based on how they act and what they say.

I remember hearing something along this lines a few yrs ago. So brutal. I am very select on any outdoors show I watch now. I actually only have a handful and most are fishing.
I don't always chase tail, but when I do; its whitetail. Stay camo my friends.

The average hunting show has very little footage of the hunt itself , between commercials advertising ,showing sunrises and sunsets and birds that's pretty much the foundation of every hunting show now.

Seen a lot of different shows thinking that the viewers wanted to see them target practice ? There's already enough non hunting action in the half hour already. Some hunting shows think viewers tune in for comedy routine as well ?

Maybe the problem is that by the time they edit out all the posts that they would be embarrassed to show...they only have 5 minutes of good stuff left!!
