Does anyone else sit and shake their head when they watch some of these hunting shows, elk hunting in particualr, on TV? I think of it as Elk hunting pornography.
I though up a list of some of the most foolish things I have seen that happen:
1. Passing up absolutley monster bulls in order to shoot an even bigger bulls. Then making a coment like " he is just to small" Passing bulls that if I saw in the wild I would drop my rifle and keel over dead on the spot.
2. Guide cooks breakfast, saddles the horses, does all the spotting, does all the calling, tells hunter exactly where to step on the stalk, tells hunter where to sit, loads the rifle, tells hunter where and when to shoot. Hunter then gets on camera and proclaims the amount of work he put into killing his monster bull and what a great hunter he is because of it.
3. A party of people killing multiple elk in one day. Usually monster bulls!
4. Celebrating the kill seconds after pulling the trigger. The high-fives are all over the place before the bullet even impacts the Monster Bull!
5. Best of all, 1-4 all happening on one hunt.
Maybe it is just me but I think some of this is borderline comedy! I have hunted before and gone for days without even seeing an elk and when I do get the chance the elk is teleporting himself thru the trees!
If you can think of any others to add to the list please speak up, we all like a good laugh.
