Default RE: Who dislikes this?

I don't like when they switch in mid stream either, but I do understand the business end of it as well. You guys are wrong about the shows not paying for hunts. I have filmed for a number of different shows and they do have to pay for most of their hunts. I filmed an Elk hunt in NM on a private ranch a few years ago, and the show paid 12k per hunter to be out there. Most of the ranches these days don't need to give hunts away for marketing reasons. A chance at a 400 class bull has people booking solid for 2 years out. I think most of the shows have sponsors that are paying that overhead. This is just my 2 cents and what I witnessed while working on a couple of shows.
