TV Hunting Shows For A Growing Audience

By Rosemarie Harrell


A wide range of TV hunting shows are viewed each day. They are simultaneously informative and entertaining. Each program looks at the sport in a different way. Such shows have been on the air for many years and have changed with the times. As popularity increases, more and more hit the air.

The sport itself reaches back beyond the recording of history. At its start it was not a sport but a necessity of life. Its practice led to important developments. Tools were devised and people learned how to control fire to do what they needed it to do. It was a practical activity that supplied a source for food, clothing and other necessities.

This sport is universal and well supported. Regardless of whether or not people hunt themselves, they are overwhlemingly in favor of its legal practice. That support is reflected in the amount of tax dollars allocated for it. Hundreds of millions are spent in the United States alone on managing wildlife programs, purchasing land, and on programs to educate and promote safety.

This is a multidimensional sport. The targets vary. Some may go for deer, others for fowl and still others for big game. Within those categories there are further divisions. Turkey can be hunted at different times of the year. Those who hunt deer can do so in a variety of ways. Those who go for the big game choose different animals in different parts of the world.

There are also multiple types of weapons, tools and attire used. A shotgun may be needed for one situation whereas a bow may be right for another. There are camouflage clothes and safety orange. Will a tree stand be used? Will a call or bait be needed?

The broad range of potential topics makes hunting a treasure trove for television programming. Many shows on many topics have already found a home on the airwaves. The American Outdoorsman has been a popular show for over two decades. The focus of this show is to expose the viewer to exotic places while sharing useful information and tips. It audience includes all types of hunters at all skill levels.

On North American Hunter, viewers go on adventures around the world with the host. This show has also found a home on the internet as well as regular television. A show that is centered more on practical tips and strategies is Remington Country.

TV hunting shows are as timeless as the sport itself. They have endured through decades as viewers have learned from and been entertained by them. The internet has helped to bring back classic shows and introduce new ones to a stable and growing audience.
