Being somewhat layer up for the past several months, and having 4 seperate "outdoor-type" channels on my satellite TV package, I have certainly seen my share of hunting shows this summer. I just told my wife the other day, I am tired of watching these shows as they've all turned into either commercials for some particular place, lodge guide service, ammunition, clothing, or other related merchandise OR they've simply become shows a bout killing truckloads of ducks. The biggest turn off for me was, during a taped show, the host emphatically stated it IS all about the killing. He's not happy unless he's killing ducks. That really turned me off. As previously stated, while we certainly do intend on killing game when we hunt, I truly believe the kill is anticlimactic. There should be a LOT more to it than just killing things. Spending time in God's great wonder we like to call the outdoors, spending time with friends and family, maybe with our trusty canines, or perhaps alone. And then the anticipation, preperations, and all that goes into al of that, but certainly more than just the "killing"
If all you want to do is kill, maybe a job in a slaughterhouse would be a little more appropriate.
Just my $.02 worth...
