[QUOTE="the man, post: 1105758, member: 8259"] The hunting shows are a huge problem when your kids watch them. They see the same personalities killing huge deer (or other species) every hunt. Sometimes...two or three on the same show. If you watch the credits and google the ranches they hunt on...most are high fence hunts. I was fortunate this year and took a pretty nice 9 point this year during black powder season, nice high tines. He wasn't a monster, but just a nice mature buck. When I got home, my son looks at him and tells me I should have waited for a bigger one. He hunts with me and has since he was about 4 or 5 year old, but because of these "hunting" shows he watches...he thinks we should see 5 or 10 decent bucks a day. He is always wondering what we're doing wrong when we don't see at least one 140" buck a day. These shows create an instant gratification which is engrained in new hunters. I would love to take some of these TV personalities out and turn them loose on some of the lands I hunt and have a little contest. [/QUOTE]
