Backland Outdoors wants you to come join in the fun and excitement that has brought American hunters to the edge of their seats, made them laugh and gasp all in the same half hour show. Backland Experiences is a professional production of the real hunt. It showcases the real story as it unfolds and stars real men and women who are proud to bring you one of the best darn hunting shows to hit the airwaves.

On target- I felt like the show flew by. There were no slow moments. The show is full of likable guys who love having a good time and throwing in practical jokes. It's shot in a Primo's style format where everything is mostly real and cutaways are minimal. I recommend you find time to watch Backland Experiences on the Men's Channel.

Off target- Now for the part everyone loves. When watching shows I try not to sit there and look for ways to make it better. I try to enjoy them and watch with an open mind. But I wouldn't be the critic if I didn't find something to critique.

I will start off with the most obvious. While watching a turkey hunt, I was overwhelmed by the volume of the music. I don't mind music, but I do mind if it drowns out the natural sounds, which create the feeling of actually being there. And I know it's only a 30-minute show and it's not easy to fit everything in, but there were really no lead in's to the hunts. The reality of actually finding the birds was missing.
