RED FISHER! That son of a gun! I watched an episode where he gave a glimpse of next weeks show. He was goin on a bear hunt HOLY CWAP! I waited eagerly all week for Saturday morning to come. I tuned in and for 29 minutes he showed the set-up, the baiting, the tracks, the scat, the blind, etc etc. then he reads a poem and says like all real hunts - sometimes you don't even see a thing. and that's how this 1/2 hr show went. a bear hunt without even seeing a bear - I was not happy! Red Fisher that sonof a gun!

is it still on wild tv

I love a show where they openly fish for a jug of whiskey. You couldn't do that these days.

They actually have a few episodes where they hunt with a group. In the deer hunting group you have to wear a sombrero if you shoot a buck that does not meet the management requirements, ha ha.

Watched an episode this morning and it's was a pretty good show, no ads and some good comments like "Looks like a Home depot for hobos"!!!

Watch the bear hunting in Alaska. He makes a point of not shooting due to the time and that he would not be able to get there before dark. He also shows how to use all parts of the animal, how to render down the fat, what cuts make the best hams.

I really like how it is not about the antlers or the products, it is about the process and the experience.

You will notice that he never once mentions a sponsor.

A-h-h-h,the good ol' days when outdoor programming told it like it was. Of course,we'll never see the likes of this again on any network.Can you imagine the cost of one of these style shows in this economic climate and mindset of profit driven network big business?

I don't watch hunting shows anymore. I watch the odd shooting show to see some new stuff showcased but one get's tired pretty quickly of watching someone driven out to a blind over a baited field and see them pick out the largest deer and shoot it with a TC blackpowder gun. I don't think they actually help hunting or the public's perception of hunting. I hope the upcoming generation isn't brainwashed into thinking shooting a forkhorn buck is a sin and sign of poor sportsmanship. I don't need some makeup wearing overpaid starlet teaching young hunters that shooting young deer is wrong. So yeah, the old Red Fisher shows were actually closer to what hunting means to most people.
