Turkey, I agree with you for the most part. Not because it is a high fence or hunting with an outfitter. As you may know, I have worked for one for over 10 yrs. What irks me is that when these shows are presented on TV, we are generally led to believe that they are hunting free ranging deer. Often that they have run out that morning and set a stand so they can run in a harvest a monster that evening. There are some very shady outfitters out there, as there is in any business, but all outfitters are not the way you described. Our deer are free ranging on private owned and farmed properties. We simply lease the ground for the exclusive hunting rights. There is never a guarantee when or where a trophy buck will appear. I have seen many of these shows filmed, and it takes weeks or even months to get a good harvest on film with free ranging deer.
