Guest Finn Posted September 21, 2007 Report Share Posted September 21, 2007 That's one heck of a sheep Jeff got, but sure looked like he hit him in the back leg Not sure I could do that stream shower in that cold river Of course, I'm just jealous because I'll never get to go dall sheep hunting Not sure this is Jeff's or David's, but is a great picture.

silvertip_co Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 Nice sheep he got. I dont understand the BP rifle thing tho, dont these tv heroes hunt with real rifles? I figger when I see a woman drivin a pickup and a man looking out the window that he's got too many dui's. Same thing with BP, all these tv guys shoot BP cause they aint allowed to own real guns.

alaskaguide Posted January 16, 2009 Report Share Posted January 16, 2009 Questionable Sheep Footage First let me start of by saying that I think both Foxworthy and Blanton are top notch awesome guys, absolutely love watching them when they are doing their thing. As a skeptic I have reviewed the footage of Jeff's shoot and it appears that the first shot misses or hits the back right leg of the sheep, then the footage immediately cuts, the entire sequence doesn't look right and I am sure if the audience is honest with themselves they will come to the same conclusion. Was there another shot, that was cut out for creative reasons? I believe Foxworthy's excitement was genuine, yet I don't believe that first shot was a kill shot. I guide for sheep and know a sheep's nonverbals quite well and this sheep did not display the signs of being hit. So what's up? I am also surprised that more people don't question these things.

Dakota Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 What an awesome looking ram! Congrats to Jeff on a great sheep! I need to start putting in for the Bighorn and Mt. Goat draw here in SD; it takes nearly thirty years to even have a chance at drawing the tag. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskaguide Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 No one noticed? Does anyone pay attention anymore? So no one's responded to my previous post? Does anyone pay attention? Am I the only one that thinks the footage doesn't look quite right when Jeff Foxworthy first shot at his ram? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorden Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 So no one's responded to my previous post? Does anyone pay attention? Am I the only one that thinks the footage doesn't look quite right when Jeff Foxworthy first shot at his ram? I have to agree it looks very choppy and kind of edited together...I have noticed that they dont often show follow-up shot on animals on shows. They all want you to think that everyone of their shots is perfect and that they dont make bad shots like everyone does. I remember another instance in one of the Monster Bulls dvds. Michael shot an elk and I thought it was a bad shot but he celebrated like it was a good shot...however, when he approached his dead bull, he had two less arrows in his quiver than he did after he shot. I wish they wouldnt edit they hunts like that, I wish they would show it how it actually happened. JMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alaskaguide Posted January 19, 2009 Report Share Posted January 19, 2009 Exactly Exactly, show the hunt exactly the way it happened, please no more phony re-creations of key events in a hunting program. Your audience understands the need for some re-creations as it is a production, but you can't re-create or piece together key elements of the story just to show the main charter in a better light. It's phony and most intelligent people will recognize it immediately and will call you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted January 20, 2009 Report Share Posted January 20, 2009 I didn't see the video, but I get the point. I'll go ahead and congratulate both David and Jeff, but they'll never know. As far as sugar coating videos I can see why producers do it even though I'd prefer to see the hunt as it actually unfolded. Capturing an animal suffer after a bad shot doesn't paint the hunter/sponsor in the picture they want to be painted in. It likely has to do with video sales and reputation.

ruttinbuc Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 That is David's sheep in the photo. He put a heck of a shot on it as it came up from a creek bottom they put a monstrous stalk on. The video team is to be commended for carrying that heavy equipment on a steady hustle to the shot zone. I missed Jeff's segment, but I can assure you good taste far outweighs the ramifications of video taping wounded or struggling animals. It is with all good intentions to put the best shot you possibly can on an animal. We all know things happen. The general public, especially those on the fence, need not see that struggle.

Yep thats David's sheep...He took the head-on shot when they got busted being skylined. Alaskaguide, Check my posts from last week and you'll see where I responded to a thread about that questionable shot started by Turkeygirl in the lounge. I agree accidents(poor shots) happen...but show us what is done when they do. It was definitely all about the production plain and simple.

alaskaguide Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 (edited) Missed Shot I missed Jeff's segment, but I can assure you good taste far outweighs the ramifications of video taping wounded or struggling animals. It is with all good intentions to put the best shot you possibly can on an animal. We all know things happen. The general public, especially those on the fence, need not see that struggle. Good taste has nothing to do with this shot. It was a miss, not a too far back or gut shot. I am sorry but I believe in honesty without exception, maybe they think the audience is to see that kind of truth in action, yet I believe it's exactly what people need. And you don't need to sit there and show the entire struggle sequence, I agree, yet seeing at least part of the struggle is VERY IMPORTANT, it reminds us of the sorrow that is brought about by killing a living creature. We need to see the bad with the good, it's human, it's hunting, it's the real world. Too many people want to live in this lollipop lane world, and want to interact with kid's gloves on.
