T.K. and Mike were the pioneers of funny hunting videos. If you haven’t seen any of their videos I suggest you give them a shot. They are full of rib-tickling humor that any hunter can connect with.

-On Target- T.K. and Mike fit the parts. The low-end cheap production made the series that much better. It’s nice to see a team make it without spending tons of money and over-producing.

-Off Target-Mike’s partner, T.K. Browning, has passed on and it just won’t be same without him.

Bill Jordan has a solid background in the industry and knows a little about video production. He didn’t get where he’s at by letting bad products hit the shelves. If you started watching the Monster buck series when “Monster Bucks of North America” was released, you will see that they’ve come a long way.

-On Target- Bill has brought consistence to a whole new level. Each year, viewers can buy the Monster Buck videos and know that they are getting hours of well-put together whitetail hunts.

-Off Target- Over the years, the energy level from some hunters has decreased considerably. Some of the hunters seem to have ”oh, it’s just another deer.” mentality. On another note, I like Bill. He has done a lot for the hunting community. Though I don’t know how many more deer I can watch him kill or miss. Barbwire, stickers…I’ll quit there. Also, do you think we can have another 3D archery competition for the MBXV?

The Kisky’s just plain and simple are in the playground of giant bucks. I would love to hunt in their backyard. Don and Kandy have assembled a good team of hunters and cameraman which results in some killer content.

-On Target- Location is always a plus, and we all know that the Kisky’s live in big buck country. The Catch-a-dream avenue is a great touch toward future productions.

-Off Target- Pretty much year after year we watch the same guys kill great bucks. I love watching big bucks go down but when you see Don smack 170’s every year it gets old. Try pulling out a recurve bow to bag a big buck Mix it up a little.

The Woller’s and the Summit team have a pretty interesting show going for them. The information and graphics provided gives the viewer a good idea of what’s going on. The viewer has a perspective of where the deer are, where the crops are and where the stand sits. This provides some actual education, which is rare these days in television.

-On Target- The graphics are a great addition and help make the show what it is.

-Off Target- The host crew is a little lame and needs to drink some red bull or something. I know you guys aren’t a professional like Kirk Herbstreit of ESPN, but let’s get a little more comfortable on the set. You’re a little stiff.

Two words; Tiffany Lakosky. Enough said. Lee and Tiffany make a good team as they bring us along on their hunting adventures. The reality style format and quick cuts keep the viewer wanting more. Scent-Lok’s got a good thing going.

-On Target- I like the fact that Scent-Lok has brought a woman into the equation and there are few better than Tiffany. She does a great job, bags awesome bucks and always looks good on camera. Sorry Lee, just speaking the truth. Your wife is hot.

-Off Target- The problem with a lot of hunting shows these days is the fact that it feels like your watching an infomercial. I know that sponsors pay the bills, but it’s getting a little overboard. That’s directed toward all hunting shows.

Will Primo and his team continue to be consistent with all their productions. The interaction between the guys is great and the hunting action makes you want to hunt all their locations. I truly appreciate the lack of faking stuff on camera. The true flow and minimal cutaways are refreshing.

-On Target- With production style, not a bunch of cutaways, the Primo’s crew continues to fool the viewer into thinking the cameras are always rolling. The use of push in fades is a nice touch.

-Off Target- Come on Will, I know you’ve been around awhile but let’s change the theme up a little bit. You’ve had the same type of intro to your show forever. I’ve about had it with your slow montage of game and 1980’s signature music. I know it’s not Hollywood, but it is the truth. And the truth is, I want something new.

This action-packed video is overflowing with bowhunting action, including everything from antelope to zebra! This DVD is a must for the bowhunting fanatic. The Double Bull team redefines “ground blind” hunting. This heart-pounding, breath-taking, adrenalin-rushing, eye-level hunting excitement gives new meaning to a “level playing field.”

-On target- This video is packed with over the shoulder ground-level action, which provides a unique perspective. You won’t believe some of the killer footage the Double Bull production team has compiled. This DVD incorporates all types of game and leaves no dull moments.

-Off target- After watching several hunts, I noticed the music audio levels were a little loud. I think this takes away from the real hunt. Other than that, I found it to be a very exciting hunting DVD.

The Outfitter’s Fleece Camp Collection is ideal for layering or as super-comfortable outer garments. Because of the thick 1/2″-pile Berber fleece, they are completely silent, which you’ll appreciate when closing the distance on game. For even more warmth and comfort, the added feature of WindShear™ prevents the wind from getting to your body and robbing warmth. At the same time, it’s totally breathable, letting perspiration vapor escape. You get warm, lightweight comfort that’s non-bulky, quiet and won’t weigh you down all in one.

-On target- I found it very lightweight and warm. I am currently bowhunting with it now and am finding it perfect for the cold temperatures. At first, I thought it would be tough to draw my bow in critical moments but it wasn’t a problem. I am recommending the Berber suits to all beginners (kids, wife’s, girlfriends, etc). If your trying to introduce newcomers to the sport and don’t want them to use the excuse of being cold I suggest you have them invest in some outfitter Berber fleece.

-Off target- Burrs and stickers will stick to the fabric. But what I’ve found is that in late season when it’s cold there not as big of a problem. Also, it’s not a rain suit and tends to get heavy when it gets wet.
