Whitetail addictions / or tactical Beast style????

[kurt]

i like tactical. i want as much info as possible. and as you sprinkle hunts in explain them the wind, entrance, exit, basicly how and why the tactics you used worked. i don't think you have do just marsh or hills or big woods or farmland. i would be okay with a variety . but either way id buy.

One of the things, in my view, that set Dan's videos apart from the rest were the in-depth tactics. This is what separtated them from the pack... unique and very interesting with in depth presentation on hunting styles for differing habitat. For a video to excel, it needs to be apart from the others and in demand. Even hunters that are not willing to put in the time and effort still want to watch these videos to see what it may take to emulate the success presented. If you have a unique product that hunters really enjoy when they actually get the chance to view it, and the DVD does not do well... you have failed in marketing and advertising of the product.

My vote goes to the tactical DVD's, the rest are a dime-a-dozen for the most part.

mah two pennies!

Andrae and I were throwing some ideas around... We would like to know if Hypothetically, Would you guys who have seen both my DVD's and Andraes TV show / DVD's rather see a tactical style hunting show that teaches in depth tactics with supporting hunts Beast style? Or see the return of Whitetail addictions that shows the regular guy hunter getting profiled getting it done on big bucks?
Please explain your answer???

I think by some of your answers, that some of you didn't understand the question...

whitetail addictions style was a 30 minute show that featured about 3 big kills and profiled new hunters each week.

A Beast style tactical show would also be about 30 minutes long and would feature one hunt, but would outline the scouting and/or tactic that was used in the hunt and explain how it works in depth...

In my personal opinion, you can go watch guys whack big bucks on any outdoor show or station, but there are very few shows that teach anything, especially in an entertaining way.. I also like to get to know the guys on a show rather than different people each week...

The average persons attention span is short, the average hunter watching a video/show just wants entertainment.

Personaly I would like to see a show about a few bowhunters that travel around to differant states and hunt public areas that are new to them from a camper....maybe a young guy/middle aged guy/older guy and a nice lookin woman who can hunt/hang a stand etc. That would give you two hunter/filmer teams a day. Whack some doe's and decent bucks. Stand/blind placement, some explination of strategy, hunt from early season and right thru January.......but whack deer and have fun, dragging out and the whole bit.

Tactics and explinations are good...but I think to be popular a show has to be entertaining first.

Definately a good thing to have the viewers "get to know" the hunters.

Definitely a beast style tactical show. I'll buy monster bucks if I want to see a collection of kill shots. Once you've seen 1000 kill shots, you've seen them all.

Tactics are what I want to see. Tell the whole story. Start with maps, scouting, stand placement..... explain the when, where, and why for the hunt that produces a kill...etc.....

Put some public land hunts on there....even better!

Must have it the wrong buttons. I would love to see the hunt for the next pope and young world record and some average guy stuff.

I absolutely prefer the tactical type. I want to see the hows and whys? including some map work. As someone said there are tons of entertainment based shows on the tv for free. I do watch them but I have never learned anything that helped me. The Marsh and hill videos on the other hand...are what I was after.(Needed)I watched them both so many times I might have to buy them over cuz they probably getting worn out. I would like a few hunts mixed in here and there as well showing how things played out based on your scouting methods and stand selection. I can honestly say I would buy anything you guys put out...

Well if you put it that way then I like this idea best

This would be something I would watch.

I've never seen Whitetail addictions but I really enjoyed the Marsh and Hill country DVDs.

This is exactly what I would like to see.

The only thing I would like to add is that I thoroughly enjoy watching regular guys hunting regular public land and harvesting regular deer (which could be a 115" buck if that's a good buck for your area.) Don't get me wrong, I love seeing monster bucks get whacked as much as the next guy, but if we're talking about a show for the regular joe to learn something, I would much rather see results reflecting that. It seems most of the DVD's and shows today put so much emphasis on the inches of bone that their DVD/show contains with zero substance.

I am also for the tactical Beast style show...i bought WA because they use lone wolf stands, fair chase hunts, they're average guys, and andrae the buck bed master was in it, ect. but honestly it didn't really teach me anything. I bought them after watching both of Dan's video's and to say i was dissappointed was an understatment...I loved andrae's interviews in the BBO vids so much i wanted to learn more from the guy about everything we talk about on this site but i was left with an empty wish....I would be interested in seeing one or two guys in an episode indepth from scouting-locating-shining-whatever drove them to hunt that spot that day....i wouldn't worry about being too entertaining because it takes away from the seriousness....as someone stated you guys are a different breed so you should be who you are. The last thing i want to waste my money on is another cookie cutter show that doesn't teach s#*! My $0.02

[glow=red]TACTICAL SIDE[/glow]....

To me all the shows on t.v. today are showing product after product on highly managed land, blah, blah, blah, they shoot the big deer. By just making tactical beast videos of You (Dan) and Andrae and who else (and just to let you know you and Andrae had the best knowledge and parts in the videos of BBO, just saying ), this would show to how to shoot the big buck on on your land, not just watch other people do it.

I did like Whitetail Addictions but the tactical videos with input from Andrae would be the best, instant seller

Show the gear you use, how to make it better, real life situations, etc..

Dan should make tactical videos better than Blood Brothers Outdoors to get them back for the upset

x1000 definitely a good plan!

Tactical show for sure, you can really learn a lot by disecting one kill or even a close encounter.
