People like trainwrecks. Look how popular cops and Alaska State Troopers tv shows are.

Wardens!
I'm from Montana and I can't stand the show. Made advertisement on softening view on Game wardens. They are nothing like what you see on TV. Not all of them , but most of them are immersed in their power and wielding it as well.
They should not be part of FWP as they only make us dislike FWP more.
I strayed...
I ran into it here in Montana, where hunters look at me like there is something wrong with me, killing elephants.
I enjoy hunting and killing and too bad even out own Outdoor channel falls for the political correctness.

Keep up the good work Dave. Great show...

Dutch,

Being good friends with Dave, he tells me the ele embargo has nothing to do with the lack of ele hunts on TAA these days. It is a mandate by the Outdoor Channel to cease showing them due to complaints by the antis after each ele hunt episode was shown. As we all know here on AR, even other hunters not familiar with Africa sometimes have strong misconceptions about elephant hunting and think they are truly endangered / not to be hunted. Many of these uninformed hunters complained as well.

Dave can correct me if I understood him incorrectly but for now, and probably the future, no more ele hunts on the Outdoor Channel at all, but it was not a TAA decision!!


Damn...the world has gone f@(king nuts in the last 6 & 1/3 years...2020

If the Outdoor Channel is going to bend because of the anti's, then maybe I should cancel my subscription to their programming.

Fieldsports Britain is fun to watch on their Youtube channel.

They slam anti's at every chance.

Fun to watch.

I'll have to check that one out, Duckear. I'm so glad that I have two and 1/2 seasons of TAA, Dark and Dangerous as well as a myriad of other shows of ele hunting as well as all the great videos. Some of them have Gibbo hunting ele as well. That is how I want to remember him, finding that 70 lb'er for his client. He was so elated. Yes, I know he was hunting lion but at least I have him on tape. Great guy remembered.
