I watched it hoping it would be cool. It was horrible. I won't watch it again.

Watched it last night for the first time once wired to hunt posted on facebook.

Definitely just a reality show of actors or guys that hunt in the middle of suburbia. The one guy shooting the doe on the porch was pretty unrealistic since he was then able to cross property lines to track her.

I wouldn't be surprised if this show was designed to make the bowhunter look badly. At least all deer were cleanly killed.

Thought it was terrible. Although they seem to be following the state regs (minus the crossing property question) it seems they are making bowhunters look bad....very bad... i personally would never like to be grouped in with those guys. I could only imagine how non-hunters view this show. Doing more harm than good in my opinion

I started a thread on this myself about the same time this thread was started...I'm in the same boat you guys are...

I watched 2 episodes and I'm kinda at a loss of words. It was over scripted, and embarrassed at the same time. Now that millions probably tuned in to see it have an idea how us "bowhunters" act like. These guys acted like idiots, which I didn't find very funny, and the guy "Ackey" I believe in my own opinion was a disgrace to bowhunters. Yeah, I get the whole, conservation part of it and how they are tyring to control population in the area, but if your going to do it, be professional about it and some sort of class! Don't act like you just walk out of bar binge drinking all night long with your buddies.

Eh, whatever, I probably won't be watching another episode of it. It was disappointing to me...all those reality shows are the same crap..


Is there anyway we can get this show takin' off the air??

I haven't seen this show but judging by your guys reaction I can only imagine that it perpetuates all the negative stereotypes of hunters. A reality show is probably about the worst thing I can think of for bowhunting.

I watched it and agree. It was terrible. I almost sent them an email about what a disgrace the show was. I certainly wouldn't want my niece to watch it.

I watched the first two episodes and was not impressed. :roll:

The guy that killed the deer hunting off the deck really bothered me. Non-hunters will see this and it will just be more fuel for the antis.

Can't believe they would put this crap on reality tv and it does make you wonder if it's being done to make hunters look bad. I hope this show get's cancelled soon before it does any more damage!

I tried to find a email to send to History channel expressing my anger and disgust. I couldn't find one. If you guys can find one then I will send one. The best thing we can do is not watch it.

I watched the first episode and was pretty upset about it. It was a horrible portrayal of hunters, especially urban hunters. I feel that the history channel was trying to put hunters in a bad light. I'm hoping its pulled off the air pretty quickly.

The anti hunters already are starting a petition.
