They used to say about Don Shula the Miami Dolphins football coach for the real young here that he could beat you with his team and then take your team and beat you with your team.The point being that he was such a great coach he would get the best out of whatever circumstances he was given.
I agreed with the one response a gentleman here had made that you cannot even quantify a best,that the challenge is between the individual and his quarry.
How do you define best,knowledge,book entries,number of deer taken? I guarantee their are some folks on this forum that can hold their own with any body.
As it relates to the well known guy's I am a huge Randy Ulmer fan,although he is not known as a whitetail hunter.Hard to look past Miles Keller or that gentleman from West Virginia who has some sick amount of Pope and Young entries.This made for TV hunter don't do much for me,I want the guy or gal who does their own scouting sets their own stands etc.
If any one want s to be inspired by the effort to be excellent read through the journals here a recent one written by Troy Pottenger speaks volume about committment and dedication.Also a great book I just finished by Cameron Haynes Back Country Bowhunting,it is very hard not to respect what these folks put in to their hunting.
What was the question?LOL.
