Even city slickers like to get out doors now and again and possibly do some fishing, or some hunting. It's one way that we can travel back and revisit our primal roots. There are some geneticists that theorize that man may in fact have a gene that predisposes him to hunt, kill and eat little animals and fish.

Even some theologians have argued that if god had not meant for man to hunt and eat little animals, he wouldn't have made them out of meat and made them so delicious to eat in the first place. Then there are animal rights activists that insist that soy based imitation meat products have rendered hunting and fishing obsolete, because clay pigeons can now be made out of compressed soy burger.

What ever the case, watching a good hunting show can be great entertainment and sporting shows of all likes are an important part of DirecTV programming packages. Fishing shows are especially entertaining and chock full of angling action for you to enjoy.

Those among us, who have actually engaged in the popular sport of fishing, know that if you want to actually see some fish landed the real place to go to is the TV set, because trying to do it yourself at an actual body of water is usually an exercise in futility. It can be somewhat maddening however to watch them release perfectly good fish, when the cost of buying seafood is only going up at the market. No one likes to see good food go to waste.

My personal favorite is the turkey hunting shows, because I am a horrible shot and couldn't hit the broad side of a barn. I was pleasantly surprised to see that turkey hunters blast their unsuspecting quarry at point blank range with a twelve gauge shot gun, after they have been lured to within a few feet of them, while the dim witted fowl stand there completely oblivious to their impending demise.

Now this is a sport I could have a chance at and I do love roast turkey with all the trimmings. I like the way they are incorporating female participants into what was once the exclusive domain of the men. There is just something sexy about a female with a gun in her hand.
