Randy,
I just watched your episode on public land in WY, hunting elk.
Now, this is a great example today's hunting for us regular guys.
Non hunters don't know the things we go through.
-Leased up private lands, crowded public lands, other guys screwing you up.
Putting up camp. Tearing down camp. walking in and packing the meat out on your backs.
Then formulating a "plan B".
Then going with the only thing left...and coming so close.
Public land elk hunting = hard work with no guarantees.
But when you harvest something, the satisfaction is HUGE.
You know YOU did it...not your billfold.
The turkey show, the bear hunt and your Nevada muley hunt were all great, too.
Adventures of actual hunting that we can relate to.
IMHO--If all hunting shows were like yoursI, we wouldn't have so many anti-hunters.
The antis think we just kill stuff because we want to kill. It isn't hard to see where they get their ideas.
Most of the other TV shows show "pro-hunters" or "famous personalities" who go out and shoot penned up deer, or at least "private" deer, tame (unhunted) turkeys, bear on bait piles, and elk on some private hunting lodge in Colorado....with some fly fishing on private ponds thrown in. The talk is all about "trophies".
-These guys are killing hunting for us regular guys!
Example...there's a gal who moved from SoCal. to Winston , MT not long ago. She was against hunting. After being there through a hunting season, she is no longer an anti.
I asked her why, and she said... "I never realized you folks hunted this stuff for the meat and that you depend on it as part of your diet. I never realized how hard you work for it.
I thought you just liked to kill stuff".
Keep up the good work, buddy.
