I don' t know much about Jackie Bushman personally, but I don' t think highly of the Buckmasters shows. They are highlight hunting reels with more advertising than anywhere on earth. I won' t go as far as saying that Jackie is cash hungry, but Buckmasters sure is!

A few years ago in my area I could donate a deer to Buckmasters Project Venision and the local food banks would receive it. Now, if I donate a deer, I pay for it myself and the food bank gets the venison, but Buckmasters no longer funds it. This strikes me as peculiar since the Buckmasters organization and it' s founder are still getting richer and going on exotic hunts all over the world, yet people who really need it have lost their support!

No thanks, Buckmasters!

And another thing, I enjoy watching some of Bill Jordans videos, but I don' t think any of these guys have the skill to find their own trophy buck. I call these guys deer shooters, not deer hunters! Without the ranches and guides, they are just good shots.

A real hunting show would put the hunter one-on-one with the whitetail from start-to-finish. No ranches, no high fences, no feeders, no private farmland where noboby hunts. Most of us on this board hunt in areas that have regular hunting pressure (even public land) and are successful, at least some of the time!

And while I' m on my soapbox, let me just say to get out of your shooting house or tripod and hike into wilderness areas and bowhunt.
