You lost me after #1, I discount the rest of your complaints...

Nothing infuriates me more than certain noises and sends my blood pressure through the roof! Whispering is one of them. I cant stand watching Born and Raised Outdoors anymore because of it. There always 50 minute videos, with 40 minutes of standing around whispering with eventually maybe a look at an elk at the end of the video.For me, the following gets on my nerves:

But the deep spiritual connection to private ranch elk hunting just needs to be expressed, bruh.......Real world style confessionals where you do your best Steve rinella impersonation.
African video post mortems. Gad, those guys sit behind a silly posed animal and blab and blab. Yeah, we just watched the whole stalk and shoot. Why are replaying it again and again? Thankfully I can fast forward YouTube and skip the blabbering.
Listening to the guys whispering as honkers are coming to decoys is laughable. Those birds are making so much noise between themselves, they couldn't hear a brass band blaring in the blind.
Agreeable statements. I've watched many videos where Randy was left empty handed to the point I was starting to think it was more of a backpacking show than a hunting one. But it goes to show the reality of modern general hunting and how hard it can actually be.1) All I want is to see someone shoot a forky mule deer buck
2) A lot of it has gotten kinda boring. Same videos over and over again. Wander around the woods, bugle your brains out, elk strolls over the ridge on the last day and it gets smoked.
3) A lot is unrealistic, at least for me. I saw a video, maybe Hushin, where the dude hunted like 19 days archery elk and finally killed one. Thats sweet, but if I get 5 days I'm lucky. That is one of the reasons I like Randy's videos. 5 days and that is it a lot of the time. That resonates with me.
4) I also like seeing more unsuccessful hunts. That also resonates with me!
5) Doesn't seem like a lot of them are having fun. Too intense and too much focus on killing something.
Well said and couldn’t agree with you more!1. I wish hunting videos would show their stalk patterns so new people like me get an idea on how to go about hunting when the time comes.
2. The exaggerated excitement when it comes to killing an animal. I get it's payoff for a long and hard hunt, but I feel many videos stretch the drama for views.
3. The whispering 3 miles away from a stalk, then being the loudest thing for miles when stomping through terrain. Defeats the purpose of whispering right?
4. Like other people have talked about saying "smoked him" or other sayings. It's akin to yelling "get in the hole" in professional golf. Just stop.
5. People not giving the animal the respect and dignity it deserves. People posing with the animal while it's tongue is hanging out.
6.people putting more emphasis of the production of a video rather than the hunt itself.
7. The amount of money people have to spend on hunting can make a hunting video seem more like a 20+ minute advertisement.
8. Taking excessively long shots. 1000yd shots are not hunting but sport shooting animals. Long range shooting goes against what I believe "fair chase" is supposed to be.
9. Having large glassing groups to spot animals.
Again, I feel there's a point where this starts interfering with what fair chase is supposed to be. The animal should have just as much a chance at survival as people do of harvesting them.
10. Using electronic communication like radios or phones. Again fair chase.
I'm sure there's more, but as a hunting virgin and a first time poster here, these are my thoughts.
