As evidenced by my post, I am NOT impressed with his new show. BUT I wouldn't personally attack his character, call him a dumbass or accuse him of hunting "in pens". (I have hunted The Encinitos twice and there isn't a fence on it, one neighbor has a fence but it is only border and not even enclosed. The deer walk right around it!) I suspect alot of the criticism toward Bushman is simple jealousy. He has been in it long enough that he has made the money, is an industry figurehead and said lastnight on his show that they hunt basically EVERYDAY from late August until January. Show me a "hunter" who wouldn't like that lifestyle???

I agree that someone like Bushman can get testy from time too time while making public appearances. 10-20 years ago I'm sure it was still new and fun too him, now after decades of the same faces, the same places and the same travel schedule he is probably burned out. A man who eats chocolate cake everyday is gonna get sick of it sooner or later!

Don't discredit the mans hunting ability either, he never said he was THE greatest. He is exactly like his mentor Ray Scott. He is a salesman and promo-man first, ability isn't even on the radar. Sell the sizzle not the steak!
