All I can saw is my company, Safari Classics Productions three series Tracks Across Africa, Hornadys Dark and Dangerous and Trijicon's World Of Sports Afield have tried to be honest in our content, delivery and promotion of our treasured hunting tradition. Sure hate, with all we try to do to represent our sport in the very best light, to be lumped in wit Pigman.

Dave, I don’t think there’s any real danger of your programs being lumped in to the same discussion as Pigman. Your programs display hunting in a positive light, stressing conservation through sustainable trophy hunting. Pigman is a loudmouth unsophisticated hick with an inflated self image and is incapable of realizing the negative image of hunting he projects:

Anytime I see guys bitching about and lumping all the Pigman type hunting shows into one, I always shout at the screen, "What about my buddy Dave's shows?" Anyone who's watched your shows HAS to come away with a positive message of conservation and respect for the land, people, and animals. Pigman ... Dave and Tim are NOT!!

Dave -

Funny timing. I'm stuck at home with Covid (again). I've been watching TAA and have pretty well finished off all the episodes.

My personal assessment is that your ethics show through into the final product. My only comment is, for some reason the conclusion to more than one cat hunt doesn't seem to be continued on to the next episode?

As to comparting your show to Pigman or Nugent, no comparison, as viewed through the prism of another International Hunter.

I truly wish everyone had the ability to just not view stuff that offends them.

Guys,

There is a market for all those "hunting" shows that we may find repugnant otherwise why would Pig Man etc keep going season after season. A lot of hunters like the bullets and blood flying whoop it up element. Additionally a lot those folks could not care less about international hunting as they don't see it having any bearing on what they do.

Hunters are a diverse group and I don't see us all banning together to fight the antis any time soon.

Mark

You are correct. Even just within local hunters I know those that primarily care about whitetail, others are really into wild pigs, some are all about ducks, and others upland bird hunting. None of them have any interest in African hunting. You could ban all trophy imports and they would not bat an eye. It simply doesn't impact them. Until my first PG hunt in 2008 I primarily hunted pigs and would take one or two deer each year for the meat. I still do, but now I dream of Africa.

There is as much diversity in the market for hunting shows. Many of the hunters in the US have no interest in African hunting shows. As for myself I do not have access to channels that broadcast any of the hunting shows. I am content with Saeed's hunting videos. Though I did find a series on Netflix called Meat Eater that I enjoyed.

Hey Steve,

That was actually Alan Shearing. Funny but I've had numerous people come up to me at the show and tell me they had just watched that episode. Safari Classics and CMS! Great folks to do hunting business with.

I think the market for these blood and more gore shows is overstated.

We went from the American Sportsman on mainstream cable, to Blur Marlin tournaments, and Under Wild Skies on ESPN to less than 100k viewers on a specialty network you have to pay extra for to see the hair fly.


Shows like Swamp People and Last Alaskans even show wolf killing, but are on National cable with bigger audiences. You always got one on there’s for haha, but a lot of those people are presented serious.

Yea, I almost replayed it to get it right. I've watched 10-12 episodes last night and this morning. Get PH's and places mixed up. Nice job!!
