I just get tired of the same old tree stands and whitetails.
You'd have to pay me pretty well to watch whitetail hunting.
The "hunting shows" I generally find the most interesting rarely have much hunting content, especially not boring ambush hunting (aka stand/blind stationary hunting). "I found **** and tracks before season, I hung a stand, I sat in said stand, I shot XX game from said stand..." Stand hunting's really just not that exciting. Spot and stalk, and still hunting really aren't much better after you watch a few... "I saw XX game over there, I stalked them to over here, I shot said game animal..." Or "I walked around quietly until I saw XX game animal, and I shot said game animal..." Hunting really isn't a spectator sport, and even if a guy is hunting 3 different species in 5 different states, it's really not easy to produce enough quality content to fill two dozen episodes a season without running the risk of showing the same footage, just in a different state, over and over... Storyboarding and episode sequence planning for hunting content as a career requires someone with the same mentality as that guy who pays big bucks at the dominatrix dungeon to get tied up and flogged.
And then you run into the logistical challenges of hunting as an economy. You need to produce quality content, containing high quality game animals, but that often leaves you victim to EITHER criticism by hunting "any time" options like game ranches, OR logistical nightmares of drawing tags AND finding quality game animals... And of course, none of it happens in a static film studio, and game nor weather follow production schedules. If it happens to rain and hail during the one week you have booked for your out of state elk hunt and the trophy bulls you scouted are bedded down tight, you have very low odds of having a successful hunt and even LOWER odds of capturing quality footage during the hunt - so now that week was effectively wasted, along with the time spent accumulating preference points to draw the tag... It always sucks to have a failed hunt which requires that much build-up, but it REALLY sucks if it also means losing your investment and potential to create revenue for that year.
Every season when I get deeper into "go time" for producing content, I'm reminded how grateful I am that I'm not trying to make my living through said content full time - it's a highly competitive market, with extreme production challenges and limitations.
