I think Potts is one of the better shots that I've seen. Normally the guy smokes his deer through both lungs. I didn't see the show where he hit it in the neck, but I saw Brad Farris shoot a mule deer high and front. Same type of thing, they didn't really mention the shot placement and they recovered the deer. Did he do it intentionally? I don't thing so, but only he knows, as does Potts with his deer. I've seen a lot worse examples of people that shouldn't be on hunting shows than Stan Potts. I saw a guy take about a 45 yard shot on a quick walking whitetail and hit him in the rear flank. By the grace of God, he recovered it, but that's a shot he should've never taken in my opinion. I also think that people that say they were in camp with him and this and that happened are rumor starters, which I think happens a lot to hunters like Potts. He's always going to have detractors just because he's doing what a lot of people don't have the time or money to do.
