I think these guys put in alot more time then you realize... It's one thing to kill big deer consistantly, but to do it on Film is a whole new level... Sure they are hunting the best parts of the country, but still takes alot of skill as a hunter to get the job done on a consistant basis... Especially on Film...
Also, remember that Waddell got his start with Realtree because of his turkey calling skills.
I thought Waddell got his start with Realtree after winning a contest for a Free Hunt....??
No, he was a turkey caller. Here is a blub from

First off, tell readers how on earth you landed your current job with Bill Jordan’s Team Realtree?
MW: Hunting has always been a big part of my life, so landing a job with Realtree was like a dream come true for me. I had won several turkey-calling competitions, and some of Realtree’s pro staffers had mentioned my name to Bill Jordan. I finally met Bill at a turkey-calling contest in 1994 in Perry, Georgia. I won that contest. After we met, Bill ended up putting me on Realtree’s hunting advisory staff.
