Look guys you can't blame the outfitters to me thats like blaming the taxidermist ....all their trying to do is feed their family's and do something they love to do ...personally I blame the Bill Jordans ...Jackie Bushmans ...Mike Waddells of the hunting world ...they have SO publicized HUNTING with their TV shows that NOW EVERYONE wants to get that MONSTER buck ....which fuels theoutfitters with clients...supply and demand is the key and ALL these @#$%^ TV shows are mostly to blame IMHO

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO D.D. ole buddy, ol friend, ole pal does this mean your idea for a show is
now KIBOSHED?
Hopefuully ya change your mind and get it going...
I agree with the fact everybodies into killing a big rack bucks but I don't think its because of shows, I personally think its because thses bucks offer huge returns in money, endorcements to the average hunter..
One can basically become a celeb over night...Even antler sheds are going at a high price went to a custom furniture shop outside of town, and a bench seat framed from moose and elk and elk antlers was selling for $2000
Antler chandiliers not much less..
These things sell and sell fast and he makes a crap load of money doing it......

Jeff can you JUST imagine what an EXPLOSION of interest it would cause if ME ..DOCTOR DEATH where to have his own TV show ...nope for the good of the sport Ive decided to stay out of the hunting show business 
.....I agree with you that BIG Bucks can return BIG $$$ but why is that ..think about it ...20 years ago it wasent this way ...its only became this way over the last 15 or so years when all the TV shows started the BIG buck CRAZE ....who in the WORLD 20 years ago would have thought a 24hr a day 7 days a week OutdoorTV channel could servive but The Outdoor Channel is doing just that ...Ray Scott started it all with Bass Masters ...then Jackie Bushman with Buck Masters ... if you want to achive "overnight fame" there has to be a vehicle to get you there and its BIG BUCK TV ...... 20 years ago if you took a nice buck you might become a hero (something I have to live with everyday) locally but that was it ...but now with the inter net ....BIG BUCK TV... those same bucks have become a commodity ...I was told by a local hunter who films for Knight and Hale that for every kill he gets on video of a buck over 130 that its worth $5000.00 ..... that aint chump change and NOW most EVERYONE up here has their own video camera .... just look at all the hunsband and wife teams popping up .... deer hunting as we knew it as kids is sadly LONG AZZ GONE !!
