[QUOTE="marksman1941, post: 2898054, member: 68542"] the meat eater is the only hunting show I’ve seen that I had much respect for. The rest truly are just about the kill. I haven’t perused too many, and it sounds like there are some others out there that are decent, but I really appreciate that Steve sometimes misses, or gets skunked, or makes a poor shot that needs tracked and followed up on. It’s nice to see the real world represented (although far few of us get to hunt like he does). I recall one hunting show I watched at my uncles house where a relatively famous hunter came to southern oregon to chase black tails (where I grew up, and what I learned to hunt on). It was pretty gratifying to watch him get skunked over and over, and by the end of the episode he took a medium 3 point and said “I’ve never shot a deer with a body this big and a rack this small, and I have NEVER worked so hard for a deer in my life. Hats off to you oregon guys who are actually good at chasing these ghosts”. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be able to sit over a corn feeder and down 5-6 does to fill the freezer, and then go into public land to chase down a big buck. I think I would be happy as could be doing that. One process (feeder hunting) is just a meat harvest, which is just fine if you’re ethical about it. Then the fair chase for the buck is an actual hunt. I do agree with the general sentiment of the crowd here, that hunting a high fence and then crowing about your achievement is a bit gauche. But, end of the day, to each his own. If someone offered me a free fenced elk hunt, I honestly probably wouldn’t say no to it. [/QUOTE]
