Jonathan HulmeOLN Shows
As a matter of interest did anyone see the OLN Dangerous Series that was aired about a month ago - we hosted the elephant shows and some of the plainsgame shows with Beretta in the Save Valley Conservancy and haven't had a chance to see them yet. What did you think of them?

jorgeThey were all well-made and I enjoyed them very much. My least favorite was the brown bear hunt. Done in two episodes and all OLN does is how the first half all the time. I would very much like to see the elephant show again, but I've only seen it once. jorge

Jonathon, The one I saw with the elephant I enjoyed it very much. I liked the way they told it like it was and not try to cover up or edit out a less than perfect shots.

ROSCOEThe shows I have seen were well done! As Jorge suggested, stick to Africa, not Alaska.

We're going to be "gifted" with a health care plan we are forced to purchase and fined if we don't, Which purportedly covers at least ten million more people, without adding a single new doctor, but provides for 16,000 new IRS agents, written by a committee whose chairman says he doesn't understand it, passed by a Congress that didn't read it but exempted themselves from it, and signed by a President, with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes, for which we'll be taxed for four years before any benefits take effect, by a government which has already bankrupted Social Security and Medicare, all to be overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and financed by a country that's broke!!!!!

almostacowboyWell, let me be the first one to say that I thought the Brown Bear show was OK. Not "great", but OK. It certainly wasn't as intertaining or annoying as watching Cindy Garrison. (I'm absolutely fascinated and irritated simultaneously by her). I do like Doug, though. His personality and professionalism (at least on-screen) make him seem like the consumate professional.

She's just hyper what's wrong with that.

I wouldnt mind having her around. Actually I diont mind watching her at all. I think you guys are exaggariting the annoying factor of her honestly.
Now Tred Barta on the other hand or whatever his name is I cant stand.

Amen to that on Barta! I can't believe anyone would buy his show to put on TV and pay to sponsor it.

almostacowboyNow, see? I like Tred's "intensity". But, then, I spent the first 38 years of my life around Chicago. They've got some "intense" guys there, too!

And about Cindy: just remember, you only spend 24-26 minutes a week with her. I guess I could put up with her for that long!

eyedocTher was a show on last night that featured a lady bowhunter and her husband hunting whitetail deer.The lady I think was named Debra Fox.Not sure about the name.Anyway ,she was mature, classy, very pretty,obviously intelligent, and just a real peach.Her husband stated that she was a great hunting partner and you could tell he was proud of her on many levels.
She was a great ambassador for hunting ,bowhunting in particular.
We seldom get to choose
But I've seen them go both ways
And I would rather go out in a blaze of glory
Than to slowly rot away!
