This may not be the popular thing to say on ALdeer but.......49er made a good point here. Like many have said, TV has ruined deer hunting for the worst imho. I spend 100's hours and 4 figures a year practicing QDM the best I can but I totally agree with that statement and it's gotten much worse in the last 10 years.


I'll third that. In my opinion, TV hunting shows have done more damage to deer hunting and have done more to divide hunters than any other single influence I've seen in my 30+ years of deer hunting.
