True or False?
Really, how much time could they possibly be spending in the woods (without the camera crew) - actually scouting and learning their trade on their own initiative?? These people are being taxied all over the planet, year-round,from show to show and event to event like show ponies. They're not hunters. At least not in the sense that we are. Or at least not in the sense that I expect them to be.
Do these people actually step into the woods when there's not a camera crew on their heels?
Can any of them actually scout out a new area on their own and get it done like the average guy?
Do they really even know anything about the rifle on their shoulder or the bow on their hooks?
Hell, I doubt half of them could kill a deer in a public-land, pressured DIY-style hunt. Honestly. Half of the guys on this site would bury them all in deer racks if we ever had the chance. So how in the hell did they ever elevate themselves to the top of the game?
Now, that's not an indictment against any of those individuals. Most people have a hard time filling tags under those conditions.BUT when somebody makes a LIVING as a paid professional hunter, I feel like they should at least be easily distinguishable as a top authority on big game hunting. I've talked deer hunting with some of the individuals who I believe to be the top percentile of deer hunters on this planet - and when you meet one, you know it right away.I just don't get that from the "Celebs."
Can you remember even one helpful tip that you ever got from watching Lee and Tiffany?
Honestly, if Brenda Valentine told you howyou should hunt your woodlot, would you listen? LOL
So basically you're saying you really don't know anything about them, how much work they do on their hunts and how much work they had to do to get to where they are now.... but you don't have any problem judging them and finding them to be lesser hunters??
Interesting.
