One of the things that got me over to this site was the $2,000 Alaska black bear hunt. I think that showing folks that some of these hunts really are in the price range of an average person with a little saving is a great thing.
Maybe pick out a brand new hunting area for the episode (the $1,500 elk hunt) and have a companion post running on this site showing the research you did to prepare for the hunt. Google earth shots, thinking behind the area you picked, who you talked to, etc. Most of the folks from out east aren't going to be able to make a scouting trip in the summer so they are going to be locked in to scouting maybe a day or two before the hunt.
Ending up with an animal on the ground isn't the most important thing, just like your Alaskan black bear hunt. Most are looking for the experience more than anything and an animal on the ground is gravy. That's one thing you could possibly do on the site as well, go through what do do when the animal is on the ground with some step by step instructions. I think a good step by step video of someone doing the gutless method would be a huge hit. People are always asking about it.
My 2 cents. Nathan
