Wild Within

[bikeoutback]

Didn't see a TV forum and this best fit in Hunting I thought. Anybody else watched this show Wild Within on Travel channel? I caught 2 episodes and have 2 more on my DVR right now. It's not really a hunting show or a survival show but kind of both, hard to explain as it's more just a way of life.

Maybe travel channel explains it best:

I like the idea behind it. Unfortunately we all can't afford to own cabin's in Alaska or afford to fly to all over the world to stock our freezers. It's definitely not a cost savings he is trying to obtain but the idea is kinda cool. It's also interesting to me at least to see them actually tape and broadcast him gutting, cleaning, quartering and butchering as this is also a key part of hunting. I know many non-hunters would no appreciate this part of the show but as a hunter I know that hunting isn't only sitting in a stand waiting for that magical shot and then it ends up in my freezer, there's a lot of work to be done after the kill also.

I just watched this for the first time a few days ago. Definitely set it up on the DVR from now on. Have to admit though, I lost a little respect for him when he said he couldn't shoot a moose because it didn't have 'horns'.

I haven't seen the show yet and I am just guessing but maybe he only had a bull tag? Just because you are on TV doesn't mean you can just go out and shoot anything.

I thought he passed on the cow as they are protected and he could only legally shoot a bull moose.

I still am liking this show, the San Francisco one wasn't completely my cup of tea but it was interesting to see them cook up a road killed racoon. And although foraging and gathering plants isn't my thing I do kinda wish I had the ability to recognize edible plants in the wild.

[SalmonSlayer]

Oh, sorry, I applaud him for passing on the cow. I assume you're correct and he had a bull tag. My lost respect stems from the fact that moose don't have 'horns', they have antlers. Drives me nuts every time I hear about what a great set of 'horns' that deer has, etc. He missed a good chance to educate the non-hunting public.

[Bear55]

You know I am guilty of calling them horns too, I know they are antlers but sometimes that antler slang comes out when you see a big set of "horns".

[SalmonSlayer]

No worries. I still screw up Looper and Steelhead all the time. Still a great show that I plan to continue to watch, just figured they would have caught that in editing.

He said it was illegal to shoot a cow so that is why he did not shoot. So he had a bull tag only.

Watched the Hawaii episode last night. That was some crazy stuff. I don't know what I'd be more reluctant to do, try to scrape those Hawaiian oysters off the rocks, or try to stab a pig coming to kill me. Great episode.

last nights moose hunt was pretty dang cool.

I also watched the moose hunt Sunday night, it was the first time I saw the show. I really enjoyed it. It reminded me a lot of how I hunt deer here in MN. I have to admit I'm pretty jealous of him. He has a pretty sweet gig there....

[walleyefisher0990]

Pretty neat show, I like the fact that he is educating people on harvesting animals, showing them the whole process, and is not just out there trophy hunting

[SalmonSlayer]

Anybody catch the Alaska one a few days ago? Pretty sweet. Trying to use that episode to convince the old lady to let us move there. Shrimp, crab, black-tails, geese, all in a few days. Not to mention the great ocean fishing, halibut, salmon, cod. Some guys have all the luck.

[walleyefisher0990]

I have lived on Prince of Wales island for the last two summers, that episode was pretty awesome, nothing like fresh prawns, crab, salmon, and halibut. I cant wait to get back up there.
