Surely I'm not the only one...


Surely I'm not the only one that watches this outstanding show?

Give it time.

This show just popped up in Netflix. Nice surprise to see Joe there too. Good show, even though they oddly started with season 5.

I just found this on Netflix. Totally digging it. Awesome that it popped up the day after my wife shot her first deer.

I just found it on Netflix, pretty relaxing and enjoyable to watch - even though I don't personally hunt.

I like the show, like that it's not all about killing things but when it is that's ok too. I'm a hunter as well but also only kill what I can/will eat. Not sure I could eat a primate either, hard to say.

It does feel like I've seen it sometimes though, I suppose because I've watched so many hunting and fishing shows where the host waxes philosophical.

I'd like to see more of just the host hunting for meat than the gathering of all his buddies (makes me think of rich folks who get to go to all the cool places but don't really appreciate any of it).

I like the cooking episode, that spinach meatloaf looked pretty good. I have a lot of mule deer sausage and I am going to try to cook that up.

Mostly I like it because it's not overly filtered and censored. The kill is shows, the cleaning is shown, and the cuts themselves are shown so you get a feel for what it might feel like from a tactile sense, out in the cold, rainy weather to handle a warm animal like that. Sometimes it's inviting but also dangerous as you can cut yourself and not know it because of the temperature of the animal your hands are shoved up inside of.

I thought he was kind of judging the Chimani, or however you spell it.I mean he said he would rather just observe how they used that poison to fish. I mean it was more like farming to me no sporting about it. He kind of judged it. Or that is how I took it. I mean they have been there for hundreds of years so it doesnt kill off the population obviously. later in that same episode he talks about how he didnt care for how he thought foreigners were imposing their hunting practices on the locals. He talked about how it was bad but then imposes his values. just weird to me.

He did put his values up when he was with the Chimani, and then he also empathized with how their culture was and stated that he just had a different view point. I guess you missed that part.
