I watched some older Duck hunting content last night. I had forgotten how there was very little commercial emphasis and a lot of focus on the history of the subject area, topography, migration patterns, the culture of the club when the hunt took place at a camp, etc. You came away with an education.

Today, you gain nothing from these infomercials disguised as a Duck hunting videos. In fact, you feel used, even dirty after the experience. Every retail aspect is hammered home overtly or in a subtle manner. The contrast is stark and this is not an old man get off my lawn rant. It’s a call to action for those of us with more sunrises in the rearview mirror than in the windshield to use every opportunity to mentor others.

The only word I know to use for describing hunting and fishing shows is diluted. Fishing shows aren’t as bad but it’s still very product driven.

They are. If someone watches them to "learn something" then it's the perfect place to sell product. Might take 1,000 hours of filming but once Joe Bass Pro catches a fish on the pink metal flake lure, whoa!!!!! gotta have 3 of them.

I don't watch fishing or hunting shows. Don't read magazines either anymore. It's the same old recycled stuff and more advertising than content. I do occasionally watch a utube on "how to" something.

Personally, Youtube is one of the most helpful sources of information. I've accessed it to learn everything from making a call lanyard to fixing a furnace.

First heard of the internet from a SD pheasant outfitter who, when I expressed the notion that it must be a wonderful source of information, noted the rub that you already have to know enough about a subject to know whether your web informants might be trustworthy. And, in my experience, that's as true with Youtube as the net in general. Pretty frustrating to watch a long automotive how-to that ends with "Well that didn't work."

Can’t watch YouTube duck hunting vids, just not my thing, but when it came time to learn how to tie a windsnor knot, youtube was my friend.

So are you dissing the knowledge I have picked up watching Duck Dynasty? Everything I know about duck hunting has been learned from Uncle Si.

Love Uncle Si. There's a reason that poodle wasn't in a duck hunting episode though.

Sure hope you don't use it in your professional life.

Proof positive that anyone who can pay for the airtime can be on TV.

I can. But, then, I get off on watching my homers through my office window, when they circle the house and drop in on the roof, too.

Was jonesing for working birds badly enough after our past season to start clicking on green timber hunts where birds would, hopefully, be dropping in, instead of tree-topped, and this was the best of the lot:

Some of the 3K Productions stuff is pretty good, too. No commercial interruptions, and you can fast-forward through stuff you don't care about.

For a Westcoast hunter the opportunity to hunt flooded Green Timber was a thrill ! The ambience of wading out into
the hole was so much fun and once the day broke and you could see birds above the treetops , the game was on .
Never will forget those hunts , like in the movies , it's when birds come down through the trees with their landing
gear down , you wish you could stop the clock and rejoice what God gave us !

Nope. It was a dove hunt. Funny episode.
