New show on history "chasing tail"

[Youngboyer2(billyf)]

It has not premiered yet, the premise is whitetail hunters thinning the herds in conneticut suburbs. If it is anything like "swamp people" and bowhunters are misrepresented then the bowhunting community will suffer a collective hit. But they do say any publicity is good publicity.

Hopefully they will all be shooting compounds.

I see that starting badly, and ending worse.

Good one Pat! Hopefully the "anti's" don't beat this one to death.

Sounds like a good April Fools tale to me.

The name alone is silly. Ive seen that sticker on plenty of truck windows, right next to the Bone Collector sticker. Chasin tail and bone, sounds just like what I do each fall..............wrong........RESPECT is what its all about for me. I respect the game, the law and the people that dont hunt. I dont parade deer around in my truck woth the tailgate down, they deserve more. I dont hang dead deer in a tree next to the road either.

Sorry for the rant. I just get tired of cheezy, stupid, disrespectful outdoor shows that keep coming. Hope they all go bankrupt sooner than later.

Here's hoping (probably pointlessly) that they will treat this subject with some respect for the game, the traditions of hunting, and with a good conservation message. 

If not, may their buttholes grow shut and their foreheads erupt with a new one!

Last thing any hunting show needs to do is spread bad publicity. Regardless to the method of taking, we are always faced with evil looks from folks who dont understand us. I hope the show does justification to the sport, and shows the need for it as well. I recall watching a show, seeing a bear get treed, shot, fall, run off, and  while the guides were high fiving eachother and congratulating the first time female shooter, they ran the tape all the while the bear was death moaning. She was in tears listening to the bear die and they played it on TV. I hope these guys dont do that.

It does'nt look good, in one of the trailers it looks like they kill a deer or drag it through a suburban back yard.
Let's hope this thing is not as bad as it appears.

It will be bad Kevin. Drama makes this instant gratification country we live in go round buddy.....it will suck and cause more damage than good.

[Eric Krewson]

I thought it had to be an April fools joke when I first heard about it but it is for real, wheel bows at least but it will end up giving us all a black eye.

[Parnell]

I'm on board with Pearly, but I'll try to give the show the benefit of the doubt.  Hopefully the drama hook that those shows need will be between the ignorance of the population and respectful harvesting.  That's high hopes, I know.
Hopefully they can provide footage examples of sickness, starvation, and flat waste.  God forbid they should show people being fed and the animal being utilized.

I lived in the Northeast for a some years growing up.  Never saw so many dead deer everywhere just rotting on the side of the road.  It was commonplace back in the early/mid 90's.  When I moved there at 15 I was completely disgusted and saddened by it, so common.  After a year or two it becomes like seeing a squished squirrel.

Shameful...wasteful.

[Buffalogobbler]

I agree Parnell, it would be a step in the right direction to see them donating the meat to a local soup kitchen or something like that. and yeah there are a lot of deer wasted on the road but I do notice every once in a while people who are having a hard time making ends meet, picking up the fresh ones.
