Dead on with this. Everything they receive for compensation is determined on popularity (either money, endorsements, products, etc), the more attention they get, the better it is for them. It's no different than any other actor out there. There's a reason that some actors can make $15-20 million per movie and others get a fraction of that...it's all about what kind of audience they can potentially draw (called a Q rating). Keep in mind, hunters on TV are every bit (if not more) salesmen (and women) as they are hunters. They need as large of an audience as they can get to pitch products.
