All of the RV show hosts hunt where there is a high population of big bucks. There are many that don't hunt high fence operations because they have their own land and can manage for the big bucks (the Kisky's and Stan Potts come to mind) I'm pretty sure if you and I could focus strictly on hunting and had our own land and could afford to go to ranches (not high fence) where there is a large percentage of big bucks we could all be successful harvesting trophies. Most of the negative comments I hear seem to stem from jealousy. Just because someone is hunting with an outfitter, doesn't mean they are not a good hunter. They are just increasing their odds of seeing a trophy. The reason you don't see some of these shows hunting just any old place is because most people watching the shows want to see big bucks. The TV shows are also trying to show hunters what it takes to grow big bucks, and that's to let the young ones walk. I believe anyone that takes the time to purchase a license, own the gear and actually steps out with the intent to shoot some wild game is a hunter, who cares how good of a Hunter they are, they are enjoying themselves in the outdoors like you and I and not trying to eliminate our options as hunters.
