8X56MS,

If I were to get started on the hunting shows, I would go for quite a while. When I bought this place last year and subsrcribed to DiretTV, I got the Outdoor Channel for an additional charge. I have watched the hunting shows off and on over the last year and pick up on more and more fact things. For instance, I love how the camera man is at the dead animal all the time when the hunters walk up to it, and how the hunter acts surprised to find the animal as he is walking up to it.

How about when the camera man is right next to the bird for the retrieve? I saw a little german haired puppy fetching a pheasant the other day on TV and it reminded me of how I threw a dead pheasant for my dog Nitro the first time we hunted upland and filmed him retrieving it. Off course, my video shows me throwing it.

Please, just film half an hour of freaking hunting, regardless of whether or not something is shot.

Furthermore, how about giving some instruction on hunting. Where to hunt, how to hunt, how to call birds, how to set decoys, how to use a duck boat as a hunting rig, etc. I don't want to see one slaughter after another, I want to see how things are supposed to be done and how I can do them.

I have been contemplating recording my own show that is an informative show. That way, I can help the everyday Joe on hunting and shooting. What I really like is the Tom Knapp segment of the Benelli show wherein he shows people how to shoot a specific target. Show some more about that.

Okay, I am going to stop here because this is a sore subject of mine.
