Eva married or engaged? Who gives a shit? Beautiful young lady, but for god sakes who cares? I sure as hell don't. Hope she has a great life and does whatever…………….. but the TV hunting shows are about 97.5 percent lame.

I am getting really tired of wives and children of media personalities. Shockey is good, but his shows go downhill when he shows his father, wife, and daughter. What is this, Family Affair?

If my father passed away tomorrow would anyone on here give a shit? No. They may say oh too bad and pretend to do a prayer for me, but beyond that it is just saying what you think everyone wants to hear.

Friggin drama queens are not just on the hunting shows.

People are so shallow. Of course we are all sorry to hear about someone dying and that there are others who were close to them, but to suggest it somehow impacts you as an individual who is not related/friends is disingenuous.

Typical.

Thanks Skyline. I honesty didn't know his father passed away, but I have to say just because I don't want to see the whole family paraded about on a TV show doesn't mean I would wish ill on them.

I guess the fact I didn't know his father passed away shows I no longer watch his shows as much as I used to.

Larry/Lion Hunter: by your logic, those who complain about religion on TV are somehow against Jesus, huh? Give me a break.

It's really refreshing to see strong "family values" played out these days when so many have abandoned them in favor of the me, me, and only me attitude. If folks don't want to watch a show that incorporates these values, then simply hit the channel change button. Hunting in America has always been for a large part a family tradition and as I said, quite refreshing to see it still exists, for some at least. Corey and Jim are simply showing that they have "real" values and not just out for a "wackem stackem" session like most of the other Shows out there.

FWIW - I visited with Jims Father a couple of times at SCI, and not a finer man to be found for sure. The episodes with Jims' Father and Father -in - law are classic. May they both rest in peace.

Another FWIW - In regards to the use of a Havalon Knife for carving the Turkey. I have three Havalon Knives and one gets a lot of use on my dinning table, and not because I saw it on TV. Just good knives

Maybe I'm old fashioned but that Corey's high maintenance, sniveling about his homesickness and bible bashing just makes me wish they would replace him. Am I the only one wondering if his mother had any boys?

Seems like some just cannot resist the temptation to reinvent the wheel. I think most people watch a hunting show to enjoy photography of the region and the associated scenery to capture a taste of the ambience, perhaps learn a little about the outfitter and possibly about some historical connection to the area, a weapon or the animal being hunted, see how a type of hunting they have not done is done, observe what went well and did not go well on the hunt comparing their own hunting experience to the one being featured. They do not watch to see someone's significant other or relative all dolled up for the camera paraded around for eye candy, they do not watch to get a faith-based message or learn about family values, they do not watch to enjoy non-hunting related family drama. The producers of some of the shows appear to be trying to meld a form of reality television with hunting content. That may appeal to some, but in my opinion not most hunting show viewers.

What Shockey is doing is pretty close to what I want to see. If Corey could stop crying and they could tone down the drama and instead focus a little more on the region, the people, the game, the hunting method, etc. (and a little less on how dangerous it is and all of the philosophical rambling about what "uncharted" means), I'd have no criticism. Also, I commend Shockey for putting an emphasis on beautiful cinematography. His camera guys are exceptional, in my opinion.

Not me. I"ll hunt till I drop and watching Jim's shows without him.
This may seem callous, but all I can say to Cory is " Good riddance Dude " and stay behind the horizon...

Col. Boddington spoke at the last DSC monthly meeting. I tried, but couldn't make it. He spoke of "uncharted" African countries soon to open to hunting. I'm not there yet, as I've hunted RSA twice in the same trip. I suppose my next trip is for buff and think Moz is an exciting option. Zambia sounds great, too. I still want the Grey Ghost. I just need the funds.

With that preface, how many would be willing to go to a newly opened country where you can get some "typical" game, but might get other species unavailable elsewhere? Keep in mind the danger of mines, outlaws, etc. I think Moz may be ok regarding the leg choppers, but what about Angola, for example (should it open)?

As I posted earlier Cory vs Jim re: children, Cory's children are so much younger than Jim's I would think this fact could explain Cory's state of mind. I still like the show.

Can you enlighten us on this?

As I said before I really like the show and enjoy that it is NOT just about pulling the trigger but you can't convince me that a Havalon knife is an appropriate tool to carve a turkey with. Whoever came up with that plug for the knife......

On one of Jim's other shows (Ethiopia maybe?) he told her to get her husband to take her like he took his wife. He then mentioned that she had become engaged.
