Follow the famed professional outdoorsman, record book hunter, guide, game calling champion, award-winning outdoor writer and producer Paul Newsom as he uses over 40 years of experience to honor our great hunting heritage.
On target- Paul is a true outdoorsman and has always stuck to his guns in the outdoor industry. He shares a great knowledge and passion for his work and has never fallen short of tradition. His show appeals to a little older audience and I think there is a place for that. There should be a show out there for everyone.
Off target- The show hasn’t changed its intro in the last two years. I think a show should update its opens and closes annually. This small touch gives a fresh new feeling to the production.
Having worked with Paul in the past, I have come to know him and his family well. He is an extraordinary person who knows the outdoor industry in and out. I’ve learned a lot from him and thank him for allowing me the opportunity to work with him.
Geeeeez….for knowing the guy and his family and “appreciating” him so much you think you could give the guy a better grade than a C+
thats cool though….tell it like it is i guess
I know, but I’m rating the show not him as a person. He is a great person and of course would get an A for who he is.
BiG Time,
no reason to justify why you gave a C+ and not an A …acording to P winters…
The show is DEFINATELY not an A…
I woulda given this a C- ..for several reasons!
I’m with Craign. The show is a little old for my taste. But My dad still watches it and he’s 76.
He sure has done a lot of great things for the sport….no doubt there.
he is 76?
I believe this show is purposly targeted toward older hunters who have watched outdoor televsion for a long time. Therefore, it accomplishs its goal of entertaining THEM, but as far as the the NEW-AGE audience is concerned, its just a little to slow and predictable.
I like Paul Newsom. I think he’s a genuinely good person with the values we should all hold. I’m sure I’d like him if I knew him personally. He would be a great friend. I think he’s honest and I agree that he should get an “A” for who he is, and no worse than a B- for the show. I like the show, and it doesn’t bother me that he hasn’t updated the intro. It’s OK with me that it’s targeted toward older hunters. But…
I was watching his show one day. He was turkey hunting and a gobbler was harvested on the show. I don’t remember if Paul shot it or if someone else die, but Paul said it was a nice “2-year old.” With the longer center tail feathers and spur nubs, it was clearly a 1-year old jake. I don’t have any problem with him shooting a jake, but he should know better than to call it a 2-year old.
Good points. I watch a lot of shows out there where I question the age of a harvested animal. I can’t stand it when a host shoots a young 8-point and sits there doing his recovery talking about how the buck is 3 1/2.
If were trying to educate young hunters to shoot mature bucks then lets lead by example.
