i had a little or a lot of luck this past goose season. missed a few ducks, but i’ll be back at them this year as well. i was also on a field edge with a great caller. didn’t lose a single arrow in 10 shots.

My condolences to all you guys who’ve lost a mentor and hunting partner.
I didn’t have a mentor either. Learned as much as I could from Fred Bear’s Bowhunters Bible(a gift from my Uncle), Fred Bear videos, various outdoor magazines, and other hunting shows. Thanks to you guys who take the time to write and share with the rest of us.

Thanks for the topic, Johnny2. It has made me think for the past hour or so about hunting mentors. My dad took me hunting one week a year when I was a kid, and in HS a brother in law got me into traditional archery. But they both really just let me go hunting with them once in awhile.
In hindsight, my only real learning about hunting came from books, magazines, and hunting t.v. shows. So, thanks to all who’ve taken the time to write and produce shows. I owe you, as you’ve been my bowhunting mentors.

I like hunting shows on television…not all but a few. I’ve been watching Monster Bucks since I was old enough to remember and it helped spark the fire that has turned me ,through a personal journey, into a traditional bowhunter. Those shows helped me live out hunting season throughout the year and I’m thankful for them and the role they’ve played in my development.
As far as killing animals for money, my greatest heroes which i’ve only read about, used to do it all fall and winter, but they were mountain men and trappers.
My views are definitely biased as I’ve operated a camera filming shows for the outdoor channel. I think these shows do more good than harm. There are people everywhere who live in cities and can’t hunt as often as they like. I consider these shows a great escape and learning tools to some degree.
