Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

Well...I was just trying to answer the OPs question.

It isnt simple...it is very complicated.

Ive seen people lose their house, their wife and their family by trying to do a show thinking it was a good way to make a living.

It isnt.

It will hurt way more then your head. It can ruin your life if you try it without knowing what it is about.

We were lucky in that we did it BEFORE the glut of shows on now. Also, I was a cameraman and an editor so we did not have to pay production costs of editing.

Also we had connections with our sponsors before we would ever do it. Too much risk otherwise.


Seems to me that a YouTube show/ selling DVDs would be the way to go. Not nearly as much on the line if you don't find success.

Outdoorobsession just laid out the inner workings of the TV industry. Now you can see why I stated that some of these guys are just goobers with lots of money that dream of making it in the biz. Lots of these guys lose thousands of dollars of their own money each year to make a TV show. That's why you see a few of them for 1-2 years and they disappear. They're tired of sinking their own funds into something that isn't showing a profit.

When more outdoor tv channels were created the quality of shows decreased as did advertising money. Only a few shows get the good money most get the minimal scraps and some free gear. You would be surprised at how many shows are people funding themselves and mainly because of egos.
We had a tv show on The Sportman Channel and advertising money was near impossible to get.
If you'll notice a lot and I mean a lot of the big companies sponsor each other's shows. Example Primos is sponsored by Mossy Oak and then Mossy Oaks show is sponsored by Primos.

Based on how I hunt, Primos is far and away the best show on TV, and it ain't even close. A big percentage of their shows are filmed in the south, in the woods, and it just "looks" a lot like how I hunt. They talk/behave/joke like I do, they're very relatable to me. Their last 5 or 6 episodes are some of the best hunting shows I've ever seen....they have killed some stupid-big bucks in Mississippi, and mostly in the woods (not on some food plot, because we all know in real life bucks do NOT walk out on food plots).

OutdoorObsession nailed it pretty much start to finish.

It's pretty much the same way with fishing, too.

Agree ten-fold. Primos and Mossy Oak Country Roots. I believe I'd have fun in camp with all of those guys. Good, southern, Mississippi and Alabama based shows.
