Hmmm… this is a tough subject. There are some good shows out there too. I cannot lump them all into one category as bad. Easton Bowhunting with Fred Eicher, Eastman’s Sportsmans & Bowhuinting Journals, Bowhunter Mag TV. As far as making a living from the hunting industry, you’d have to broad brush a wide spectrum of occupations, professional and other wise. Isn’t Primal Dreams a hunting video? What about magazines like TBM and Bowhunting, and Bowhunter Magazine to name a few? Don’t they all make a living from this industry? I say industry because technically that’s what it is.
Much of this media, for many is all they have to get information. I remember when the Amercian Sportsman with Curt Gowdy was the only sportsman’s show there was. Most of what I learned about bowhunting then, was either from friends or whatever I could get my hands on and read, and experience is a hard teacher. Maybe the best – but still a hard teacher.
No sir.. I am glad for the media and sources of information we have today. Just recognize the bad ones for what they are (30 minute infomercials) and change the channel.
