I don't think he's any worse for bad publicity than hunting forums.Read the posts in the next few months(on any forum)about "I stuck a deer and lost him" or "hit one and can't find him",and the countless others.Personally,I think that's so much worse than ol Tred missing a moose at 40yds.
I don't think he's a moron,either.After all,ya'll are watching him week after week(the sponsors really like that,too)
