History Channels "Chasing Tail" looks like a Duck Dynasty rip off?

    Ok, I watched one of the episodes. It is no Duck Dynasty rip off as I thought it may be.

    Didn't like it or hate it. It's just whatever to me.

    I forgot I was recording these so just caught up on all of them. Im pretty sure Im embarrassed to admit Im a bowhunter now. This show is so bad for our sport. How this got on a channel like History is beyond me...

    So glad that I remembered to cancel the recording of this terrible show after the first episode. What a waste of time it was and hope History Channel realizes how terrible a show it really is.

    WHOAH..........WAIT JUST A MINUTE........do you realize you are bashing the "SEAL-TEAM-6" of bowhunters?? LOL!!!!!
    the show is crap, there deer camp looks like an episode of "hoarders"....and a few of the older gentlemen are sadly a walking case of lung cancer death. Lovin some of the old school camo though.....brings back some good child hood memories of cammo my dad used to have. I also remember back in the day seeing the old timers just like them smoking like chimneys down the trail....in the truck...in the stand.....back down the trail....LOL!!! It's better than watching "the real housewives of wherever" with my wife though!!

    I don't like it, but sadly, I find myself watching it when there's nothing else on. It's one of those things, kinda like a train wreck, I can't help but look. I find myself making fun of the show and shaking my head the whole time I watch it.

    I love watching the show and seeing how many mistakes they make about the deer patters and behaviors. The only good this show does is make me want to be in the stand.

    I really think we need to start a petition to get it off the air.
    Even though they are trying to make it like duck dynasty. They really show bow hunters in a bad light.
    Besides the fact that it is so overly produced

    I really dont mind the show. If it's on i'll watch but it's not must watch tv like SOA.

    I do agree that some people may think all hunters act like these guys but chances are they already had this opinion before this show ever aired. I think most people will take it for what it is and thats a couple of clowns on another reality show. I'm sure gator hunters had the same concerns when swamp people first came on.

    I saw few minutes of an episode and the one guy went up to a lady's door and started asking about the deer on her property. She then said how beautiful they were and she loved looking at them. He then proceeded to ask could he hunt her property to kill them. She started going off. I immediately turned the channel. You know this was staged. First, a camera is there so you it is NOT REAL in any way. Second, when she said she thought the deer were beautiful and loved watching them, a normal person would have immediately said goodbye. But, for ratings they wanted to show her reaction. These idiots really make hunters look bad. But, in an attempt to show how dumb and stupid animals lovers think hunters are, this is more than sufficient.
    I have NEVER watched a SO CALLED reality tv show for more than 2 mins. Once I see premise of the show, I am gone. Dancing with the *s, American Id0l, The V0ice, Surviv0r, ALL of Them are FAKE! TV is not worth watching. Just the weather and the Sportsman Channel.

    Watching some episodes on demand right now and it's pretty bad and makes hunters look like trespassing idiots. Tracking a wounded buck in people's back yards admitting they are trespassing. Looking in people's windows, tramping through yards, ya this is going to put a damper on knocking on people's doors for hunting.

    Yeah, now the viewing public thinks all gator hunters yell "chute em" and wears overalls. The should take Swamp People off the air it's putting gator hunters in a bad light.

    Jus watched this for first time. Yea can't really say anything that hasnt already been said, the one thing is does have above duck dynasty tho at least these guys actually hunt. I pretty muched stopped watching the LA boys after duck commander stopped, although it is funny at times not what I'm really interested in watcing. As far as this show hurting the image of hunters I'm not so sure its doin anything that's not already been done. Some of the outfitters we have around here have done more damage than these idiots. People against hunting are already pretty set in how they feel about it.

    I honestly haven't caught any episodes since I watched the first two. In retrospect it's probably not as bad as I originally thought, but there wasn't enough substance there to really peak my interest. If I'm going to spend my time watching a bowhunting show, I want to watch "real" bowhunting. Not a semi-fabricated reality show.

    Although if I let my wife control the TV all the time I'll be stuck watching Dancing With the Stars and the Food Network until my eyes bleed.

    You're not missing anything Justin. This show really does give bowhunters a bad name. I'm brand new to bowhunting but I take it very seriously and have been trying to talk to people about getting permission to hunt farms or private land up in northern Wi. I've only talked to a handful of people so far but when I did talk to them, I made it a point to be super respectful and talk to people the way I'd want people to talk to me if I were in their shoes. Of the 4 people I've talked to, 3 of them have brought up this show within the first 5 minutes of the conversation. I knew I was fighting an uphill battle in those situations. I got denied in all 3 situations. The 4th hasn't decided yet. This show really does need to go because it's definitely not helping anyone!!!
