Except his lack of knowledge on *** to do with a blue crab (nah, im from Maryland, its all we got for "pickin" on other states). Besides that its a great show. Hes got an awesome personality and attitude towards life. And he keeps things interesting. Not just hunting or just fishing.Deer meat for dinner
DIS-honorable Mention:
- The Hunting Public - great personalities, very informative, authentic videos, and relatable hunting experiences
- Catman Outdoors - great guy (@catman529), very informative, authentic, and relatable (especially for me as a Tennessean) -- one of the most underrated channels out there
- Seek One Productions - likable guys, monster bucks, cool concept (killing booners in the suburbs of Atlanta), but not the most relatable hunts
- Red Arrow - different from the channels above in that it's a more traditional hunting show that glorifies the "kill" and shooting big bucks on farmland, but the guy is so likable that I still enjoy it
- Average Jack Archery - excellent archery info with a few hunts mixed in
- Nock On - highest quality archery info I've found, with a few hunts mixed in
- Bowmar Bowhunting - seen this guy take way too many unethical shots for me to respect him and enjoy his show
- Chris Bee - interesting guy, but similarly has taken too many unethical shots for me to respect him
The shot from Chris Bee that stood out in my mind was him and a buddy lobbing in bad shots at deer (maybe mulies?) from something like 80 yards on a steep slope. As I think about it, that might be the only egregious one I saw, but it was enough for me to choose to take my "clicks" elsewhere. HaDitto on the list
The guy from redarrow is really funny, I don't really learn anything from his hunting because it's just "sit in a nice area on private and shoot something" but I love that he smokes does all the time and small bucks. I watch alot of chris bee's stuff, which shots were unethical? I know Bowmar took like a 120yd shot which is stupid, he tends to make way too many of those imo.
Gotcha. I would have to go back and watch that episode but I have taken 70yd shots on mulies in Montana and alot of my friends have too...but I also trained for a year and was paper plates at 100. So hunting out west sometimes those longer shots are the only way to get them, Joe Rogan 12 ringed an elk at 75yds, it was absolutely insane.The shot from Chris Bee that stood out in my mind was him and a buddy lobbing in bad shots at deer (maybe mulies?) from something like 80 yards on a steep slope.

I can forgive someone who takes a bad shot that's sort of a "heat of the moment" thing, but the guys that pause, think to themselves, "yeah, I think I'll throw up a 90-yard prayer because I need to shoot something on camera..."--that's a sure-fire way to lose my respect.
Yeah, I don't necessarily think that long shots are unethical every time by any means--I actually thought Rogan's shot was plenty ethical because conditions were perfect and the bull was completely relaxed and not at all jumpy--but the one of Bee's that I'm talking about (linked here) was pretty freakin' bad. 40 degree angle downhill, 80 yards, shooting at a bedded deer with the wrong body angle, took 4 shots to connect, and eventually spined the deer. To top it off, he and his buddy were yukking it up about the whole thing like there was nothing wrong or regrettable about it at all. In trying to find the link for you, I re-watched that portion of the video and was equally disgusted as the first time I watched. He seems like a decent enough guy, but that was a one-strike-you're-out situation for me.Gotcha.

Agree longer shots at times are a must but no matter how perfect and relaxed that animal is 1 step or a slight turn can make it a disaster.Gotcha.

(Sorry all for side-tracking us from the OP's question!)
"the hunting public" is good. I like "Average Jack Archery" sometimes he does hunts and has a ton of useful bow information. "Ranch Fairy" is good with tons of useful information from his own experiences and data. Tim Wells always kills random interesting things in so many different ways. Jeff Sturgis At Whitetail Habitat Solutions has some real good info on how to find deer, and has years experience. Jason Sankoviak (?) At Traditional Bowhunting and Wilderness Podcast has good videos.
