While trying to earn some brownie points with the wife, so I can go bear hunting....I was folding some laundry and turned on the Sportsman Channel.
They REALLY need to put some more thought on what kind of garbage they put on the air. Survive The Hunt is likely the worst, most nauseating show I have ever seen. Todays episode had our super tactical ninja host hunting "stone sheep" in South Dakota. GI Jackhole started the show by explaining the mission "Operation Stone", which includes him sleeping on the ground, and attempting to eliminated his target with archery and rifle gear. They refer to these exotic sheep as Stone Sheep several times, and proceeded to chase, wound, and eventually kill these little fellers while stealthily maneuvering through herds of grazing buffalo...all while completely decked out with ruck sacks, sleeping pads and Uber tactical radio headsets.
They finish the show by scaling a dangerous cliff to slay the desert dragon.....after a quick patrol of the area the target was again eliminated. I wasn't sure they were gonna make it, but Reaper 01 always triumphs in the face of hopeless adversity.
Not sure who should be more offended by this show....hunters or soldiers. Definitely not doing either group much of a favor by putting this joker on TV.
Sorry for the rant....stuff like this just turns my stomach.
