MackinawMonsters - Yes, I can tell you I would never.... EVER want to have to make a living by being a pro hunter on TV. I deer hunt for the thrill and relaxation. If my livelyhood was contingent on taking deer, it would become work and not nearly asenjoyable. I'm not at all jealous of these guys who have to leave their families for weeks, even months at a time. As the economy continues to weaken, hunters are going to spend less $ on new gear forcing the companies that produce it to make decision on where to cut back. No thanks... I'll pass
Sure, I like taking big bucks. But one does not need to be a TV personality to do so.
Allen I tend to agree with you ... Ive road Harley's most all my life for the thrill and enjoymentand then decided to do to work for Harley and now have less riding time the ever ...it use to be a lot of fun and enjoyment and now its a job ...I would think just like a pro hunter's work becomes ... I do notthink I have ever really been jealous of any of the pro hunters maybe a little enviousto be honest ..what I really take issue with is how they try tosell us on thinking it was just a normal everydaykind of hunt when weALL know that most likely they were sponsored on this hunt and because of their tvshows they get the best area's to hunt which obviously have been pre-scouted by the outfitters ...the ranch or farm they hunt get's a lot of exposure which in return if the pro-hunter has success gets them a lot of business so the outfitter has a vested interest in this pro-hunter scoring a big buck ...its called ENTERTAINMENT ...thats all it is but they want to make you think it was due to all the hard work and scoutingTHEY did and ALL the products that they endorse helped make the hunt a success...but with that being said its like pro wrestling ..we still watch it ! ...Can you JUST imagine if Ted Nuggent and Stan Potts had a show together ...???
