I haven't seen the show, I try not to watch things that I'm sure will lower my IQ. However, my understanding is they simply hook these guys, pull them in and shoot them.

How is that hunting again?

I like gator meat. I've only had it a few times, but I've got nothing against their harvest. What I do have something against is some nitwit pretending that he's outsmarting some creature that doesn't even know the nitwit is after it. Suppose you tried to hook a deer then real it in, or pull the line in, until it was close enough to shoot. Do you suppose that would be entertaining or give someone bragging rights about how this is how we dun it fer a hunner year, my daddy did it and his daddy did it so I'm a gonna did it too.

Yeah, I can feel my brain melting just writing this post, which I why I don't watch that crap to begin with.

If you want to brag about going up against a creature, then do it. Drop the gun, pick up a knife and then I'll listen to you brag. I'm not much interested in guys who shoot deer from 500 yards either. Now an archer making a good shot, that I can respect, that takes some skill. Sitting in a tree with a high powered rifle, throwing bait out on the ground, well, I'm not sure what that takes but courage doesn't seem to be a necessary ingredient, nor much skill either.
