Thread: The Other TV Show

The last presenter in Wild Kai Legends was good; pretty humble and overall it was a good show. The first show of this series wasn't that flash. Last night's was a shocker (the running at game and rushed shooting has been a consistant theme in the 2 episodes).

Still; it's an Academy Award winner compared to "Hunt With Me". The worst one of those was the Wahine Toa woman who gut shot 2 deer by taking offhand shots without a rest at 200m while absolutely puffed out..... Of course they didn't find the deer. You could sense that it was a "shit we need to shoot a deer for tv" moment. That was a really bad look for tv and the non-hunting public.

Whereas I always found Hunting with Tui a good watch. She was humble, listened to what she was told and involved the entire family. She was a really good public ambassador for hunting. But it also shows just how important a good presenter is. Take Hunting Aotearoa for example.... Old "Gut Shot Mutts" always wanted to take the shot no matter what; often with less than optimal outcomes. Glen Osborne on the other hand would sometimes not carry a rifle and decline shots that he wasn't comfortable with. You could see that he knew it wasn't all about him.
