I know of some on these shows that kill nice animals.But they have Sponsors that help them with equipment,set them up with Guides and places to hunt that gives them a better than average chance on killing a BC or PY animal.Outfitters are the ones showing more attention to the ones that will bring them more money.I know in the early '80's I was in camp in Idaho with Hank Willams Jr. yes they fell all over theirselves to make sure he was happy.I didn't care I killed what I wanted and I had a good time.Last year I went on a hunt,there was 7 other Guys in Camp,but since I was putting up the most money the Outfitter was making sure I didn't go home unhappy,which I didn't.

Some of the shows are High Fenced,but they are trying to get away from this.So these people are doing alot of hunting before they make a kill that they can make a show out of.

I was talking with one person that had two hunts,within a week of each other.First hunt went great killed a very nice buck.Then they hit bitter cold,snow and Full Moon on the second hunt,which this is not looking good to start out with.They get there,the Outfitter didn't want to get out,he told them where to set up.They go out not knowing the area,wasn't doing any good.They go back talked to the Guy,tell him they need to set up in a better spot.So he tells them where to set up again.They set up,but weren't really sure they was on his property.Well this person spoted a Mature Deer,seen it had a halfway desent Rack.Waited for a shot took it.Well it tured out to be a Buck with a messed up cull Rack,plus only had three Legs.

This person called it to tell how they did on these hunts,like they said everyone was excited on the first one.Then dropped the Bomb on the second one.Told them if they could make a show out of it more power to them.Which they managed to do.

Only thing I can tell you is stay in School.If you have a chance to make friends with people in the business go for it.There is people out there helping Kids get started.I know some of them well.
