Quote from: Treerooster on February 29, 2016, 02:21:02 PMI agree with you 100% on the Fired Up series of DVD's from Claycomb. Fired Up 4 is the best turkey video out there that I have watched...bar none. I like the way he narrates the hunt and explains what is going on along with their strategy. Not a lot of music and none when the hunt really starts. Some GREAT footage of turkeys calling, fighting and interacting with each other and a caller etc. He doesn't show the beard, spurs, and tail fan of a bird, but respects the whole package about what the wild turkey is and the hunting of it.As far as TV hunting shows;The sound quality is just awful. Makes me want to spit on the ground just thinking about it. Guys talking while driving and the truck noise making it so you can hardly understand. Whispering...WTF did he say? Put some captioning up if you are going to whisper or better yet, narrate. And yes I can turn on the closed captioning, but then I really can't get into WATCHING the show because I am reading. SPIT!Most of the shows are basically..."Hey look what I can kill". No education. No revealing the strategy of the hunt etc. Give me some sense of what is like to be there. I want to see the sights and hear the sounds, not music.Tell me something about the biology of the animal, or the history of conserving it, the tradition of hunting it, how they clean or cook it. Or how to avoid pit falls of the area being hunted like ticks, snakes, weather etc.Never push one of your sponsor products in the "tip section" of the show. If you are going to give a tip make it a real tip, not a commercial.And for CRYING OUT LOUD...if you shoot a banded bird tell me about the history of that bird and the band. These days you can get the info on most bands the same day you get it. I admit I am a banded bird nut, but man that just drives me crazy. LOL The only show I have seen that told me about a band they got was Meat Eater when they shot a banded Sandhill Crane.

I personally don't care how well someone can raise animals and then shoot them. And yes, I am all for a healthy herd but if these guys weren't shooting monster trophies out of the deal then they wouldn't do it. Could do without Comercials as well. I want to see real hunting but it won't happen. To much work for to little reward for these modern times. Turkey hunting is slowly starting to head in that direction also in my opinion. Did like that show where they dropped the Kiefer brothers off in Alaska for a month. That and meat eater, hallowed ground isn't to bad either.
