If you want to make a major contribution to the hunting community stop watching these self absorbed experts trying to capture the perfect kill shot and glorifying the death of an animal.
I have heard from many anti hunters in my day and the one argument they all have in common is "You get off on killing!"
An ethical hunter kills to have hunted, they kill to have harvested, they do not hunt to have killed.
"We had to pass the shot because we couldn't get the impact of the bullet and the shock/pain of the animal on camera."
No sane person wants to witness that and certainly not followed by a bunch of self congratulatory fist pumping and a recap of how great some red neck thinks he is.
And please, someone explain to me the blood trailing as a form of entertainment. "We'll just leave him suffer overnight, cause that theres the ethical thing to do."
IMO they should eliminate the kill shot completely and the blood trailing. The film should go from a second before the shot to the hunter admiring their harvest in a respectable and thankful manner. I believe they would greatly increase viewership and actually promote the shooting sports rather than be a detriment.
It would be awesome if a non hunter or children could watch a hunting program and become interested rather than disgusted by the content.
