Shooter on Netflix

I started watching this last night. It's a TV series. I don't know if it's exclusive to Netflix, or if it was available from another outlet at one time.
Episode 1, Season 1 started with the guy who I guess is the series lead hunting in some forest. He's crouched down behind a moss covered tree limb, watching a doe. The doe runs off, and then a wolf comes into the picture. The "hero" takes careful aim. The view switches to the scope, and the audience can see that the guy is aiming just to the side of the wolf's front paw. He shoots, and the wolf runs. It's as if the shooter is warning the wolf that there's danger lurking about. You can also hear muffled laughter in the back ground.
Then, the shooter hears a wolf growling. Sure enough, it's caught in a steel trap. He whips out his trusty tranquilizer dart pistol, shoots it, gives it a shot from a syringe while explaining to the wolf that it's an anti-biotic, and then releases it from the trap.
About that time, a couple of guys dressed in camo and orange vests show up, claiming the wolf. The "good guy" makes some snarky remark about one of them being a dentist, grabs his rifle from him, and the conversation goes something like this.
"I'll bet this is a .223. Probably what the kid behind the counter at Walmart told you was good for shooting wolves." He then jacks open the bolt in such a manner that the round pops up in the air a bit, and he catches it deftly in mid flight.
"Let me guess. 55 grain. It's not good for anything larger than a squirrel."
That's when I found something else to watch. Maybe it gets better, but I doubt I could stomach any more of it.
Just an FYI.

You and I finished that series in the same place. It was on Netflix a while ago, and I gave it a shot, until the same ignorant BS showed up.

Oh, I guess Jayhawker was talking about Shooter! That makes more sense...
