    Not only does this put bow hunting in a bad light but I think it puts all hunters in a bad light. THIS GUY IS DOING NOTHING FOR THE HUNTING COMMUNITY. If his web site doesn't respond I suggest getting hold of his sponsors to voice our displeasure.

    I sent the website & production company an e-mail voicing my 'displeasure', just before I put in the thread. Overall its not a bad half hour show. 'Something' like that could happen on a hunt but I couldn't believe they would film & air it! He almost seemed to think there was a comical aspect to it when he made mention of some of the long shots taken & missed. If nothing else, it serves as a good example of how not to hunt. When people see things like that in the media, especially on TV, it isn't hard to see why the anti hunting sentiment is growing.

    I wasn't to impressed either with the display of "bad shot choice" and wonder how much of a bow hunter this guy really is. I don't think any ethical bowhunter would take a shot @ 50 yards at a moving animal. I know I wouldn't. However I have seen other hunting shows film the hunter take a poor shot at game. Some you can see the game are gut shot or wounded what I think you don't see is the guy with the three hundy finishing the animal off. I agree it make us bowhunters look bad

    I watched 3 or 4 episodes of that tripe quite a while back and gave up on it. I also figure that it is only on TV because it is produced in Quebec and Wally uses a Franco-phone pornounciation on his last name. Fred

    Re: Canada In The Rough

    I was wondering if someone was going to mention this mornings episode because it was a fu#@ing discrace. If I were watching this, being from the general public/non hunter and seen him just flinging arrows in the general direction of his target I would have thought that this is normally how it was done (being the "professional" that he is). Sure he was a hero hitting a bird at pissing range,but he should have left his bow at home or not aired his screw ups for the world to see and stuck with his close range rifle shot. p.s. Don't get me started on his high speed walrus hunt last week!!!oh ya someone should teach him how to pronounce his last name.

    He's an idiot and the show sucks big time.......

    I don't know why they would even air his misses, they were not even close !!!!!!

    Did you see the week before where they followed the Muskox on snowmobile, till they were tired and circled up for their last stand and he shot one with a crossbow.......Really challenging hunting when their standing their with their tongues hanging down to their knees.......


    He really gives hunting a bad name, not just bowhunting either, we will all be branded the same.....

    The less press this idiot gets the better, hopefully the lack of viewers will cause the sponsors to cancel his ass......

    Re: Canada In The Rough

    I've never liked the show. It has never exhibited the nature of hunting to the audience. Each trip looked so easy, each shot he took was so perfect, each game he hunted was so dumb. what the....

    Perhaps someone who knows how should forward him this thread! Might open his eyes some to how the public thinks of his program. Fred

    Thumbs up Re: Canada In The Rough

    I don't know about anyone else that has sent a 'comment' to their website, but I know I haven't received the courtesy of a reply. I think the suggestion by Onesock is a good one and it hits where the pain will be felt most, in the sponsorship which translates to $$$$$$. Lets 'do it'.
