1.) Swamp Fox - 09/30/2014
You're in the director's chair:
You decide how much bad-assery and even what's bad-ass and what's not.
You pick the "star" and the narrator, what they're like, and what they say and do. Hunting methods, music, camera angles, recoveries, hero shots, instruction and commentary, nature cinematography, travel and tourism footage, equipment and sponsorship: it's all up to you.
What would your perfect outdoor TV show be like?

Okay, I guess I have to go first, LOL...
Bad-assery would be minimal. Walking toward the camera in slow motion or looking into it with a face like you're a stone-cold killer is not bad-ass.
Climbing steep terrain or wading black water past a cypress knee with a moccasin coiled at the base IS bad-ass. I'd show that and skip where I put on my face paint in an antler pattern or an Indian-warrior-from-outer-space design.

The perfect show for me is one where they take you step by step through procedures and thought processes. When they shoot something I want them to clean the whole thing step by step, package the whole thing step by step, cook the whole thing step by step.
There are so many skills that need to be learned/perfected. Firemaking, skinning, cooking, sharpening, canning, dressing. etc. I love to learn and tend to gravitate toward programs where I come away smarter. It doesn't have to be dry and slow. Look at what Alton Brown did for the Food Network. When you watched him you came away with "why" you did things a certain way.
Oh, and a hottie.

I would base it similar to Steven Rinella's show. Nothing fancy, no music, just out in the woods splaining stuff.
5.) Swamp Fox - 09/30/2014
I agree. Especially about the hottie, LOL. As long as she can hunt, or is funny. No annoying Midwest or nasal accents, though. And if I get the idea she would want to decorate our living room in "country" and ruffles, she's outta there! :wink There's nothing worse than a good-looking good-ol'-girl who has the same tastes and imagination as her grandmother. :tap::re::wink
Treestand hunting, especially with a firearm, is about as boring as you can get on TV, unless it's done "right". Might as well watch paint dry. "It's Day Five in the treestand with Starkist Outfitters...We'll see what happens..." LOL
The only way it's interesting is if they give you a good explanation of how the stand is located, what the conditions are, and why they chose that stand that day.
Lots of other areas for instruction, too, as you point out. I watched a guy skin a deer the other day with a boxcutter. You've never seen so much hair get on a deer ham...

StringTwister has some YouTube videos out on tying in a peep, serving etc. He does such a great job of it too. A weekly show where you go into detail on all aspects of bowhunting, shooting would be great.
There are so many topics I won't even bother to list them.

You don't like wild Bob, do you Swampy?
Oops, that's not totally fair is it?
I pick Wild Bob wearing a grass skirt and coconut shell bikini top, Spear Fishing the Great White Shark off Australian coast with the theme music of jaws playing in the back ground. Sponsored by injury trail lawyers. With live commentary by everyone but me.
Save whales, hunt sharks.

Underwater photography is always cool...Whether it's crystal clear shots of fish and reefs, lures or a catch in stained water, or boots traversing river rocks...
12.) Swamp Fox - 09/30/2014
Also, I'd like to see more classic rock in outdoor TV...
[I]Don't Fear The Reaper[/I] and [I]Layla [/I]would figure prominently in my shows.
I can think of some more if no one else wants to play along at home...

This is what happens when you let twenty-somethings produce your outdoor show soundtracks:
14.) bluecat - 09/30/2014
I absolutely can't stand when a deer is walking along and the producers think that it needs a soundtrack leading up to the shot. I love hearing the woods and how quiet it is.
But I'll play along...
Blood is Thicker Than Water, Bee Gees

Gosh, my favorite topic here lately...Well, ultimately if the show caused all out fights and arguments on hunting web sites, and brought friends to blows...then I'd say you've got a real Hollywood winner there. :re:
Thanks for the vote of confidence guys, but I think others would be better suited.
How about two teams of hunters that compete for the affections of two groups of women by bagging the biggest bucks...one group of women could be like Swedish Bikini Team, and other group could be the ugliest, meanest bunch of Booger-Woofs you can find. Obviously the losing team of each show would get to spend some quality time with second group...:shocked:

LOL...
I think that's [I]Love Is Thicker Than Water[/I] if we're talking Bee Gees, but there's a few Blood Is Thicker songs out there...
It would be pretty cool to slip a Bee Gees song into a hunting show, though...:laugh:
Some music is okay on the approach of the animal, but a lot of it is horrible.

I agree Dan.
Oh, I just had a great idea. How about a show called, 'After the Hunt' with your host BULLZ-i?
Dan will have a co-host with guest to review video and forum post and stuff like this. It will be uncensored, informative and hilarious at the same time. Mostly honest straightforward and informative.
It will be live with call ins for viewers and listeners.
He'll call it like he sees it. He'll also have segments. Like, when you've been a dumb bunny, he Sasquatches you.
(or, maybe not)

Bullz-i would offer his opinion, deriding Luv2 with his Norwegian sense of humor, or crushing the little guy like a grape, if you will. You could call the segment 'Squatch 'n' The Grape Nut ("squashin' the grape nut"---get it?)
