Created by Michael Burdick, Hunting For Bambi occurs as series of videos that center around the invented competition to hunt semi-naked women by using paintball guns in the deserts of Las Vegas.

A central idea of the program is that hunters (men) pay $5000 to $10,000 for the privilege to hunt "Bambis" (women wearing nothing but the thong & gym shoe), by picking the two dispatch by owning paintballs powerful enough to draw blood. A Bambis themselves have a cause to participate: a risk to win $2,500 in case it refrain from incurring hit & $1000 possibly in case it run.

the truth is that a entire production, which several use at times assumed to become a reality show, has been proven to be the hoax. A hunts come staged, paintball hits are carefully planned, & a hunters actually function for Burdick. This hasn't stopped it from either becoming the profitable franchise with thousands of videos sold and merchandising lines planned for a first including (based on data from the Hunting For Bambi web site) a article of clothing line & video games. It too hasn't stopped a series from either inducing worldwide coverage per media, with Jay Leno, David Letterman, Howard Stern, Fox, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and the BBC providing news of the show.
