(GRADE: A-)

Jack has been putting out hunting videos like it’s nobody’s business. Now he has a national show to showcase some of his greatest adventures. Jack doesn’t do anything half way. From the monsters he slays to the production level, it’s all as good as it gets.

-On target- Jack continues to show viewers awesome encounters and kills. He also employs some cameramen that aren’t afraid to get in there and get the good stuff. Some of the cameramen work is without a doubt in a league of its own in outdoor productions.

-Off target- If I were to pin point one thing behind Jack’s productions it would be Jack. I would like to see him loosen up and maybe crack a joke or two. I mean come on; you have a dream job. Everyone knows how much you live to hunt, try to show us more of that Jack.

(GRADE: B)

Jon Brunson Outdoors produces exhilarating and interesting hunting & fishing shows for outdoors enthusiasts. Everything about this show is done well and it seems the experts agree. JBO has picked up awards right and left this year, from Best Show Open to Best Original Music.

-On target- Jon and his production team are not afraid to be different. Bringing the reality back into the hunt is what a lot of shows are trying these days. I think none have hit it like JBO.

-Off target- I think sometimes the camerawork is subpar. When you have a great open like JBO has, it would be nice to see the camerawork flow consistently. No doubt, World Hunting Association has similar issues, but are we talking about you or me Jon B?

I think this show is headed in the right direction. The Driven team brings you real hunting at its best, with a big focus on whitetail deer. Pat Reeve and his crew seem to always be in the right place at the right time to close the deal. I believe one of the largest bucks ever taken on film lies within the series.

-On target- I like the high energy that the show carries along with the great camerawork. I also appreciate the special interest segment. It helps set the show away from the pack and is usually very interesting.

-Off target- Now Pat, when you moved away from North American Whitetail TV, I think many of us expected you would change things up a bit. It seems to me you stayed pretty much with the same show concept and a pretty similar set design as well. I would of like to see a more original overall theme and structure in the episodes ahead.

Realtree Road Trips

(GRADE: A)

Road Trips continues to deliver a different side and feel to outdoor shows. Michael Waddell brings excitement, humor and likeability to the field each week. Waddell and his team continue to get it done under pressure, delivering entertaining TV and 1st class productions,

-On Target- Hosting, Michael no doubt makes the show. Show after show, Waddell and others in camp continue to bring with them an excitement and humor that is highly entertaining. The production team exhibits great knowledge of how to produce a solid product.

-Off Target- Michael is a big fan of country music. So am I, but come on, do we need to bring a country singer on every show? We know they got the money to go on awesome hunts, so let’s see some less fortunate hunters get the chance to hang with Waddell.
