I'm talking about the so called "pro's" on TV. I think most of them shoot their deer on preserves. (Voice in the background)... "okay Joe, release the deer"....

Anyway, there are some that could get a buck all on their own without a guides help. Two I know of are Roger Raglin (who went on public hunting ground in Wisconsin all by himself and got a buck that made the book) and Larry Weishuhn. They don't need the guide to tell them if the buck is good enough to shoot. I won't bash some of these "famous" guys but some are NOT that good.

And if they diddled around on a Wisconsin buck like they do on their shows they'd never get one. They sit and wait for the deer to turn just so, then they might load the gun. Or they don't take the safety off until the buck has taken another bite of clover etc etc. The window of opportunity on a Wisconsin (or other deep woods state like Michigan, Minnesota, etc) buck is very short and if you dink around like those guys do you won't get anything. That's what leads me to believe some of these "pros" have never hunted some tough conditions.

Who do you guys respect of the TV pros and why?
