Hi Guys

I would like to know your opinion of Steve Scott - Big Hunt Media.
Specifically I would like to know if you like the style of his shows and the authenticity of the portrayed experience.

All comments welcome.
Kind regards
Ian

What's the name of the show? Safarin Hunter?
I'd say kinda cheesy, blah, blah, blah not so real
Nowhere near to Sports afield, Tracks and few others

I'm sure Steve's a very nice person and probably a class act, and I have certainly watched the show before ( but don't DVR it like other shows I like more).
While, on one hand, I'm happy to see someone try to articulate "our" pro-hunting message and agenda... I believe the message may be lost in the overt and obviously staged delivery ( or as our friend said correctly , "cheesy").
I also don't particularly care for the actual hunting content itself but that is a personal opinion.. Too "game-farmy" and "canned" IMO.
I hate to criticize, just giving an honest opinion...but hey.. I do truly appreciate the intent, thought, and message Steve had dedicated a lot of positive energy and passion towards in defending our rights to hunt and own firearms!

Agreed Poyntman
I still watch it

I actually just Googled him and I must say he has a very interesting and varied background worth checking out.
He has spent 20+ years as a professor at Oklahoma...has a law background... Financial/tax expertise..sports and entertainment...
Cool stuff. Actually gives context now to his approach and intent i never understood.

My observations as well, Poyntman.

Same here. Extra cheesy and corny. Trying too hard. Not a fan.

He used to post here several years ago. I always enjoyed his posts and the method he used to communicate the benefits of hunting on his show.

Likewise, I enjoy his shows particularly his commentary segments. I feel the show is a notch below TAA and Under Wild Skies but certainly worth watching. He is clearly a smart and articulate fellow.

I agree Mike. His hunting segments are not up to the same quality of today's best shows, but they are not offensive either, at least in terms of the back slapping / whack em stack em type of show as is so often the case. However, I think Mr. Scott is a positive influence for our position as hunters and offers an intelligent message for those sitting on the fence to sway in our direction.

Funny, while ago I told a friend that this guy Steve kinda acts and looks like college professor
Now I know :-)

In 2009 i sat next to him on the plane to JNB. He was a very interesting guy.
Last year i ran into him waiting for our guns in ATL.

I agree with all the comments about the show. Its OK at best.

One of my favorite shows.

Steve and I have hunted cape buffalo together a few years ago, I enjoyed it. He's a nice, intelligent guy - who enjoys hunting Africa. I've frankly never watched his show, but I expect it at least portrays a good message?
