Hey, I guess a true sportsman can take many forms, but when I was a kid I never used to miss Curt Gowdy on The American Sportsmen. The guy was always unassuming, yet knowledgeable, never loud or in anyone's face. He took the time to tell about whatever quarry he hunted after it was killed, explaining about its beauty or value, something that let you know it wasn't just the thrill of killing something. You didn't see any high tech advantages being used, just Curt and Bing or John Havlacek or some other celebrity out in earnest swapping some stories ro knowedge, maybe a song, and hunting or fishing. Ah, I'm getting to be an old fart, what do I know.

you know more than you think....yeah the american sportsman was my most absolute favorite show...and i'd kick my brothers asses if they wanted to watch anything else....especially that sound of the bull elk bugling would give me such a rush....so much so that i still miss it...and was wondering if you could buy/rent that old show on DVD.... anyways that and field and stream made me the sportsman that i am today. i was duck hunting and re-loading my own shotgun shells ,out shooting ring necks and up in maine bear hunting at age 15. the soylent green thing was a joke pointed towards peta people....like what do you want? cadaver crackers so we don't have to eat poor defenseless animals....I saw this dipsh1t calling deer right to him on tv the other day...until he pissed off this one buck who wanted to run him thru with its antlers until he finally was using his tree stand as a barrier to keep from being gored to death....
his dungaree's were all ripped up bigtime....it was rather amusing.
he says afterwards....well i guess i won't do that again
