I guess to just keep it simple "I love your show" . Daniel DeWert ELMIRA NY

Dear Keith,

Just caught the last minutes of your south Texas javelina hunt. Your guide is mistaken when he said this animal is related to rodents. The peccary belongs to the Order Artiodactyla, not the Order Rodentia. It is an even toed (hooved) ungulate.

I enjoy your enthusiasm I'll never tire from hunting myself!

Keith,

I just watched the 2nd episode of your second season with your first ever combo Ross bow and TC encore shotgun kill. You mentioned that the shot on the turkey was something crazy like 55 yards. I just recently added to turkey barrel to my own TC prohunter and was wondering what kind of choke you were using on the shotgun. Was it the stock tc turkey choke that comes with it or was it an aftermarket?

Thanks for any info you might give.

Keith,

I just wanted to say hi, and thank you for taking the time to talk to me on the phone the other day. It was cool. I'm looking forward to seeing the episode where you bow kill your Javelina. I also took my first one this year with my bow. It was my first ever bow kill. I bought the bow a week before my hunt from a dealer here in Tucson. It was cool.

Also just a thought for your online store, would you ever sell Scent Stalker? I'm still looking for that kit and have been unable to find one.

I love the campfire (sponsored by Thompson Center) segments of your show.
Cant wait to see the second part of the Buckwarning campfire. I also would love to see an episode on mountain lion hunting, I saw your Christmas special and know you had about 5 min or so on it, but love to see it more in depth.


Thanks and Sorry for rambling,

SSGT Chris N.

hey keith, greg tvedt here , watched the show tonight, tell your son congratulations for me. great bear . more important than the bear he took is the bond you two have that i think is great.

you seem to be all about your family , which to me i admire more than any animal that could be taken. unfortunately growing up near nyc , all my life i had never hunted, nor my father thought of taking me. but i am not bitter i love my father. it took moving away from new york city when i got married till i started hunting myself, and i try to use your show and many others to try and teach me on how to hunt.

now 31 years of age, hopefully i will be able to use any bit of knowledge i gain from watching , to help my children when they come of age and ask to go. my daughter kailey is four and cannot wait till she is old enough. but anyway keep up the great work please feel free to keep in touch . maybe someday i will be able to book a hunt with you .

till then god bless you and your family.
Greg T.

Mr. Mark,
I sent you an email last year about Buck warning and you responded that it would be on sale around the beginning of the year. I have waited and still can not find it for sale at outlets or on the web. I do want to try it, so would you please give me any info on it you can ?

Thank You,
Roland B.

Keith, I actually watched and enjoyed your show the other day. That's what reminded me, again, about the product. I would like to thank you again for being so prompt with a reply. Believe me when I say I am looking forward to trying it. I've tried so many products in the past and I have to tell you that I have been disappointed with the results most of the time. The ones I do like I stick with religously. Thanks again......Roland

I thoroughly enjoyed the tribute to Charlton Heston that was aired today. Is there any way I can purchase a copy of today's show???

Thanks
Keith D.

My name is Kerry Preston, I just spoke to you about your piece on television. This is right to the point and we all need to remember why we have these rights.

I am writing at your request for a copy of the disc. It will be shared with everyone in my life.

From one good American to another, THANK YOU!
Kerry P.

Keith,

Great show on President Heston. He was truly a remarkable man. I meet him a few years ago and he never forgot my name.

Keith, I was wondering if you made available for purchase your decals. I would love to get a few and put on my truck, camper and other stuff. Again thanks for your wonderful shows. I love your Alaska stuff. I have hunted there several times and always have a wonderful adventure.

Dr. Jim G.

hi keith when will your brown bear hunt from may of 08 in alaska be
on your show thanks bob

Greetings Jeff! I appreciate you watching the show and taking the time to post your comments. However, I wanted to provide you with some information that might
have an impact on your current opinions. Whether we like it or not, man is the steward of all wildlife and wild places. In some instances we have failed miserably and
other times we have succeeded like champions. In most instances, when hunting is used as a management tool, the results are very positive. Remember the 7th grade
biology lession about "habitat and carrying capacity"? Well I do, and at the Mark home we take our job as conservationists very seriously. The lession is that only a certain number of animals can live in a healthy state in a finite amount of space. This principal is true when it comes to mountain lions. As predators, they eat other animals in order to survive. If we mismanage the lions, other animal populations, like deer and elk, suffer as well. If there are too many lions in a set area, that will result in too
few deer and elk. Then the lions will turn to domesticated animals, and there will be an increase in lion and human encounters, which is never good. Ultimately, there will
be too few lions due to starvation. There is no better example of the good and the ugly aspects of man's attempts at managing wild life than how we have dealt with mountain lions. To see the
ugly look at California where they have banned lion hunting completely. There has been a decrease in other wildlife due to lion predation, tons of lion and domesticated
animal incidents, and a huge increase in human and lion encounters. Then you can see the good when you look at other western states, like Utah where my hunt occured, and you will find management done at its best. After careful studies the fish and game department decides how many lions can live in a healthy state in a given area or unit. Then a detailed count is done of
the lion population in that area. Tag limits are then set for that area. Hunting is allowed until the exact quota is reached. It's perfect! Just the right amount of lions
means a healthy deer and elk herd. Now I am not sure were you are from or if you have ever tried to hunt mountain lions, but I can tell you from personal experience and
from talking to many western residents, that it is virtually impossible to hunt lions with out dogs. It would be impossible to kill enough of them without dogs to meet the
quotas established by the wildlife surveys. I have spent many hours in the field out west and have never seen a mountain lion unless he was treed with the help of dogs.
Spotting and stalking lions is not a viable conservation tool to control lion populations. Remember the "habitat and carrying capacity" lession? That type of hunting may
not be for you, but be glad that some hunters do it so we can have a healthy lion population and a healthy deer and elk population. What upsets you about the shot? It was
about 20 yards and required a perfect arrow between limbs. It is no different than hunting a food plot that you know a white tail buck feeds at within 20 yards from my
tree. I am still shooting at 20 yards through limbs, with the only difference being that I am in the tree on one and the game is in the tree on the other. Isn't the idea
to get game with in an ethical shooting distance? Is your problem with the use of dogs? Are you against having a dog point a pheasant, quail or grouse so I can make a
clean shot? What about the lab that retrieves my ducks? Is it that we are moving the animal into a position where we can make a clean shot? What about the deer drives
that my Iowa farmer buddies do each year to put meat in their freezer. It is not dogs pushing the deer but people. I have been a part of drives like that myself and from
experience the dogs may actually enjoy the hunt as much as their human counterparts. My last thought is that I think that you should think twice before tearing down
any other form of legal and ethical hunting, that is if you are a hunter yourself. The anti's goal is to ban ALL forms of hunting. Their stated mission is to go from state
to state, species by species, and mode by mode of hunting at a time until they reach their goal. Any time we as hunters speak out against any form of hunting, baiting vs. spot and
stalk, gun vs. bow, high fence vs. free range, hunting behind dogs or not, or trapping, to name some of the stones that fly in the hunting world, the anti's win without
firing a shot. We do more damage to this honorable sport of hunting when we fight amongst our selves than the anti's could ever do to us themselves. I hope that you
are a hunter and will realize that this is a big, great and FREE country where people from different places can hunt and enjoy God's great outdoors in many different
ways. Even if lion hunting or hunting behind dogs may not be for you, be glad that other hunters take their conservationist duty seriously enough to do it so that we can
maintain a healthy population of lions. I want my kids not just to read about lions in a book but to see them and hunt them if they want to. Happy Hunting! Keith

I just finished watching the show on Charlton Heston. I just have to say that it was the finest piece for the NRA and as a testimonial for Mr. Heston I have ever seen or heard. As an actor he was without peer, and as an
American Patriot he was a rare jewel. His passing ileaves a void in a spokeperson for all Americans who cherish, love, and revere our country, and the truly unique and all encomsaiing document we call the Declaration of
Independence.
Is it possible to purchase a copy of this program?

Keith,
I caught your show this weekend on Charleton Heston and want to know how I can get copy. It was one of the best shows I have ever seen on the Outdoor Channel.

I just want to let you know that your show is one of the many that I watch and if I'm out hunting during I make sure to tape it for late viewing. I was in the market last year for a new bow and I have to be honest I was expecting to buy a Mattews, but I was wrong when I grabbed that Ross cardiac I knew I was getting one. It just felt perfect holding it and then when I took my first shot in the store I was even more impressed. There is little to no vibration at all, and it is the smoothest bow out there. I told many of my fellow bow hunters about it and they all agree. Thank you Keith Mark for having one heck of a hunting show that I look forward to watch all the time and Thank you Ross archery for making the best bow out there. On 10-9-08 at my cabin I shot a 8 point buck that had a 18" inside spread with the bow. Thats another for the wall and I can't wait to get it back from the taxidermist. Any way keep up the good work. Thank you, Ben Creske
