so, opening day of deer is tomorrow for me, so i decided to watch a deer hunting show on television called "bucks of tecamote."  even though it is rifle hunting, i figured it would be nice to see some deer before tomorrow.  all throughout the show there were these monster bucks, eating next to other monster bucks, and there were these weirdo's in trees trying to decide wether to shoot at them or not. 
about halfway through the show, my wife (who rifle hunts with me) looks at me and says "what's the point?"
all i could say was "i dunno".  they talked about their food plots and growing systems so much my wife asked me if it was an infomercial or a hunting show. 
then these guys shoot these bucks of a lifetime, and don't whoop, holler, or show any real excitment.  you can look  at them breathing and tell they didn't even get "the rush".
whats the point.  i was disgusted.  can't wait to go try and shoot a doe that will be my "trophy of a lifetime" tomorrow.  can't eat the dang antlers anyway-they talk about "growing" the deer so much, i started thinking, "i bet i could run hunts on my farm for black angus that i grow real big on high sugar grasses and clover.  hmmmm, 420 acres,.... four board fence.....just enough room to sound like fair chase......i bet i would get customers if i did it.  rediculous.

  I know what you mean.It has to be one of the most boring hunting shows on TV.I think it's an outlet for Foxworthy to kill big deer for free.But ,When I was working in the Bahamian Islands,You could put in for special hunts for wild bulls that were turning over cars and chasing people.Sounded like fun to me,I've watched Brahmas tear up and flip F-150 trucks down here.

D. Tiller:
Mullet, wasn't there a stipulation that the only weapon your allowed to hunt Brahman bulls with is a toothpick, since the bull will nead to use it after its done chewing on you?  ;D

DanaM:
I saw that last night after coming in from huntin. Foxworthy killin a big buck dang about as exciting as buying a roast at the butchers.

I was stuck off in a Hotel somewhere USA one time watching the Outdoor channel. This show came on - huntin wild buffalo in North Dakota (I think). This wheel hunter and camera man got started at dawn - acted like they were stalking this old buffalo which knew they were there, cause it looked at em a coupla times, then went back to grazing with total indifference. Within about 20 yards or so he shot it - ole buff kinda danced around there in circles kickin and balling. Later on (after it was dead) they walked up to it and bragged about the head - I got a little emaberassed just watching it, rediculous!
