RE: TV Hunting show hosts and their credibility....
If I see something on TV that looks like it will be something I would be interested in, I do a little research and get reviews from other hunters. A lot of the people and reviews on this web site. I don't run out and get it because Stan Potts said this is the best thing since sliced bread. A products I did see on TV from this last season,was thethe Primos Buck Roar that I really liked and it actually worked for me. Not to say that another grunt/wheeze call would not have done the same thing.
And by the way, I have noticed the same thing you mentioned. It's mostly about the sponsors with them on the TV shows. But just like us, they like to check out the lastest and greatest toys. Ha.
