I'm surprised In allot of the responses here and I say that with the utmost respect, each to there own. I guess I never would of expected pros to be picked that go on outfitted hunts to be among the more respected pro hunters that were picked on here. I'm sure most of the pros have gone on an outfitted hunt or 2 but I think allot of them go on them all the time.
A lot of the pros that make TV shows paid their dues. They don't have anything to prove. We have to remember that shows are made for entertainment. People want to see action and big buck kills. The most efficient way to get the kills to make a show is to go to guides. It's a double edged sword. If they don't put down enough game to make a show they are gone, if they use guides they are looked down on by some people.
