Don’t hold back. Tell me how you really feel.
About wingshooting and hunting dog TV shows, that is. What really, really, makes you mad about the current fare? Anything you wish a producer would include, that isn’t? Places that should be featured? What do you want more of, or less? What trips your trigger, or is a pet peeve when you’re watching those other shows?
Go ahead. Spill. Right … down … there, in the comments section. Or in the poll, above. Or both.
And thanks.
To me it seems that most upland hunting shows are geared to please the hosts more than relate/entertain/teach the viewer. Although I appreciate the places they go and the things they do, I have difficulty in relating to it.
I want to see more hunting in the US. Hunting for Pheasant in Kansas and Grouse in Wisconsin are amazing fun. And if you want exotic, have you ever been to a small town in Northern Wisconsin? I want to see more hunting spots from places North of the Mason/Dixon line. Upland hunting in the US is more than Bobwhite in Georgia and Texas in 70 degree weather. I want to see a hunting show that tells more of the story about why we do it: the dogs, the friends and the joy that this mix can bring. Finally, I think that the show could/would have great interest for me if they touched on things for the dog (training and/or breed info), the friends (where you stayed and ate) and the hunt (hunting gear and clothing that was used, location and/or outfitter used).
Amen! You will see most of what you ask for.
