The way I see it (as a regular Joe) is it is a very small pie with lots wanting a piece. I don't think you have to do anything other than try and get to the table and you'll turn up some noses. I'll bet that's what Adrian is referring to possibly.

I have witnessed first hand a young guy trying to do this exact thing the absolute wrong way. He thought he was a top notch hunter and therefore would be a good fit to make the industry more of a job. He is anything but a top notch hunter I am afraid. Even if he was or he was successful in making people think hewas, he was not able to be humble and put in his time takin the licks. As a result he is going nowhere.

His other problem was that he has no money and making moneyin the industry was a driving factor. That's not good. I think you need to prepare yourself to invest lots of your own time and $$ for years before you can start to expect a return. Gotta do it for the love of the sport but that don't pay the bills so have a way to do that in the mean time or take the time to establish yourself and then go for it.

Hope to see you on the outdoor channel sometime in the future
