NZ Hunter thread

[Tussock]

Greg Duley has been doing this for years, trying the get free advertising because he is Greg Duley. I was surprised to see him advertising here again. If it is free for Gregs business, why do all these other characters have to pay?

From memory it had about 10 grains more than would even fit in the case so im putting it down to either a typo or Greg wants you to blow your face off

Still shivering after last nights program.

Last night was great. Anyone new to winter hunter Sika (or any deer) should have got a lot of tips out of it.

Killing that last thread was a shame really because it had some very good info in it.

Ironically this thread promotes the show just the same. I had considered creating a thread last night saying watch TV Duke tonight 830 etc just for shits and giggles.

It's a tough one because it's more of an endorsement than advertising in my opinion.

Greg wasnt offering anything for sale or service by endorsing his own tv show. Yes I know he is payed by sponsors etc (advertising) and to keep that going you need viewers. And yes I know he does a bit of 'gunsmithing' etc.

Tough call, but I ain't the boss and freedom of speech is a beautiful thing.

I don't think he was even endorsing his show, he was just answering some questions from a punter regarding something they has seen on the show.

Agree @Spanners - that first post is promoting his show/brand.

The show itself is advertising, the whole logic behind posting about the show on here, is to get you linked to that advertising.

True, but it takes more than the show to get me to support Hunting and Fleecing.

I'm personally over the show - This season has gone beyond ridiculous with the amount of in-show advertising. I meant to get my stopwatch out last night and see how much genuine action we got in our hour long show, I forgot, but I'd hazard a guess that it would be much less than 30 mins.

By the time they take out the actual ad breaks it's down to 40 odd minutes (which is fine, TV producers need to make it financially viable) but then there was at least another 10 minutes of content that serves no purpose other than to sell you sponsor's gear. Not to mention the two "tip of the trip" sections (one of which felt like a 10 minute lecture on looking after your boots). Don't get me wrong, I've got no issue with a shot or two of guys eating a dehy or setting up their tent or getting in to their sleeping bag provided they are actually adding value to the overall experience (it's all part of the adventure), but when it is so frequent that you feel like the whole show is one big ad it gets tiresome.

I like the show, some of the footage is fantastic and I love most of the messaging and the work they are doing to help non-hunters understand and appreciate what an amazing resource we have here in NZ. I will probably continue to watch it when I have nothing better to do, but I will continue to cringe at the pure volume of blatant advertising in-show. I feel like if they dialled it back by 20% I would have a much more enjoyable time watching it, and buy as much of their sponsor's products as I currently do (if not more).

@Dorkus I couldnt agree more bud. Exactly my thoughts on last nights ep.
TBH this whole series has been lacklustre so far. Humping and Fisting wont see my cash either @tetawa

Same thoughts but started watching it taped 15 minutes after the start, flicked the adds and by 9.17 pm had caught up. Too cold up there for this oldie at that time of the year.

How does it affect anything at all him giving us a heads up about the show so we don't miss it? be different if he was "don't miss out on tonights hunting and fishing products". Also good of him to take the time and answer questions too.
