All the TV shows are promoting products and it gets annoying.

Was going to say the same thing. All the TV shows and videos are pretty much the same these days, and they all fall into the category of "deer hunters shooting turkeys".

Have pretty much quit watching TV hunting shows. Not much similarity to real life hunting, just lots of self promotion.

:agreed: Also I did watch the new DVD out by HS strut this year and was appalled. There was a scene where the guy gets to the lodge, grabs his gun and goes out hunting. Turkey comes in and he shoots it but low and manages to get another shot off and kills it. As soon as this happens another gobbler shows up and he hands his gun off to his cameraman and he to shoots low with it and then is able to take it with a second shot. The whole time this is playing out, he is saying that my gun is off, my gun is off yet he hands it to another hunter to try and get a bird... Crazy. Could have been two injured turkeys out there instead of two being dead. This is not how I hunt and will get off my soap box now. Good luck this spring.

Quit watching hunting videos years ago. They never show the whole truth....too many cut aways. They're just a big joke!

I really like the Primos videos.  The Truth 26 is very good in my opinion and I would be willing to bet next years will be awesome.  Troy Ruiz is back with them and from what I understand he and Mr. Jimmy will be hunting a LOT together this spring.  Also Will and Brad will be featured more.  That's what I understood from talking to Troy at the convention in Nashville.

Like some others has said, I stopped watching years ago since they are so far from the truth and give young and new hunters terrible information on how to hunt turkeys.

I feel like most TV hunting shows are a long commercial for multiple products, especially after the kill, they have the "hunter" sitting over his kill with all his logo clothes and accessories laid out on the carcass, and the speach always starts the same, "well i dont think i could have got it done today without my browning maxus, with pattern master choke and my blah blah boots and insulated undies made by frootie loom, we watched this bird for 3 days and couldnt get a shot and well it all worked out today"

In reality they probably could have killed the bird on day 1 with a sling shot but they didnt have enough strutting footage to make up the 10 minute spot for the hunting show so they drug it out for 3 days... 

Just my feeling on it.  I do occasionally find my way to the hunting channels but I get frustrated with the depiction of a 5 minute hunt and killing the trophy then them giving too much credit to overpriced equipment aka. sponsors. 

My grandad killed big bucks and longbeards wearing flannel shirts and blue jeans with an old double barrel 12 guage with either buckshot or 2 3/4 inch high brass...

I really like the internet show Cabelas Spring Thunder. Its all turkey hunting with very little product pushing and no commercials to have to sit through and I can watch when I want. Yall should check it out I really think you will enjoy it.

There is Good & Bad in everything; we have come a long way since the days that our Grandparents hunted; we long for "yesterday" & the simplicity that goes with it BUT in all truth, we also thrive on all the "new" that comes out every year; just take a step back and look how much money that we Turkey hunters spend each season; we are made to think that we need to spend BIG dollars on Chokes, BIG dollars on the newest shotgun, BIG dollars on shells, clothing, Turkey Vest, Boots, comfortable seating, calls, and I could go on & on; these sales are generated through Magazines, Hunting videos, youtube, outdoor channels, Face Book, and just about any form of media we partake in; I fully agree that some Hunting videos aren't worth watching but some are, as with TV shows and those who produce them; it just comes down to choice.

I am very Thankful for our Hunting Heritage that has been passed downed but I am also Thankful for some modern technology that has enhanced our Great sport of Turkey Hunting.
