As someone raised hunting, I'm comfortable I know the basics of animal tracking, stalking, ad nauseum. This show follows absolutely none of them. The stars are noisy, clumsy, dramatic, and generally have all the overblown and unnecessary accoutrements except a pony keg on someone's back. One of the camera folk probably has it. Think of Red Green. Their traps are adorable cobbled together toys. Their blinds are, well, they could use some duct tape. My favorite episode so far is hunting Bigfoot, aka Bushman. It's actually fairly realistic. The prey lures the hunters into a sawmill lumber yard then goes on to throw rocks into the blind where the trapper waits to activate his trap. Bushman yells a bit and shakes the blind for added humor. The rest of the series is equally well scripted and produced. It's one of the funniest things I've seen in a while.
