You can bet that if Waddell or Drury were lousy hunters they wouldn't have made it as far as they have.
Being a good hunter is not a necessity for being a successfulhunting show host. Your ability to get people to watch the show and purchase your sponsors' products is far more important. They go to ranches, almost always guided hunts, in places that most of us could not afford in order to shoot their trophies. They don't do much hunting, just a lot of shooting, and to be honest they are not very good at shooting. Wadell gut shoots more animals than he hits in the chest. There are a bunch of guys, even on this forum who can shoot better and hunt better than many of the "celebrities", but obviously they are good marketers and that is what it comes down to.
