I have been a field producer for both Bass Pro Shops and Bowhunter Magazine's TV shows, both of which used to run on the Outdoor Channel. I can guarantee that both of those shows strictly engage in legal and ethical, fair chase hunts. That said, neither of those shows would have much appeal for a double gun enthusiast. Most hunting television will have stand hunting for deer, calling in Spring turkeys and a mix of adventure hunts such as Alaska moose, bear, sheep, and African hunts. Stand hunting for deer and calling turkeys have a far higher success rate than a lot of other hunting styles and for economic reason will be a big part of the programming mix. Another reason is that the vast majority of hunters in this country engage in deer and turkey hunting east of the Mississippi. Ruffed Grouse or Woodcock hunting would be extremely difficult to shoot under most circumstances.
