I also have never met the man, but...I do know that on some occasions he, or Michael, or David will spend 12 to 14 hours a day, and up to seventeen days in a row in " Big Buck" country. Could I arrow a " Monster" if I put in that much time during the rut? Probably. I' ve read a great deal about him, and believe he doesn' t shoot tame deer. He does pay to hunt on private ranches that have large, free roaming deer herds. (Wish I could do that too. Only makes good sense.) A lot of hunters lease hunting land. I watch his shows and buy his videos and some of his camo. It' s Outdoor Entertainment. But like so many said, he has done a lot for the average hunter.

I' d love to share a blind with those real time boys.
