Default RE: Are pro hunters really any better than you?

HELL NO!

Pro-Hunter???? Seriously, does anyone here really think someone who makes their living shooting video of themselves killing animals is a " Pro Hunter" ? That makes you an actor. They don' t get paid to hunt, they get paid by the sales of their videos, or by sponsors who place ads on their shows. Some of them may possess good hunting skills but they are not Pro Hunters. I have met a few of these people who some call " Pros" and I am not exaggerating when I say that you could take 80% of ALL hunters out there and plug them in to that spot and they' d score on the same deer. Until you have seen how many HUGE deer they have on some of their properties with your own eyes you will need to really stretch the imagination to get even close. I hunted in New Hampshire from sun up to sun down Sunday and I saw 2 racked bucks and 2 does in a deer rich area, 1 month ago in Iowa I saw that many deer every 20 minutes. It' s not the same, not even kind of. The guy who scouts all year, bangs on doors asking for permission, glasses fields all summer, sets tree stands months before the season and clears his lanes trying to guess where the new growth is going to be coming from, that guy is a true " Pro Hunter" .. not some guy who shells out $5k to sit in a tree stand someone else put up, on a field somebody else glassed on a " farm" that requires special invitation to. Call them what they really are.. " Entertainers" , no different and no better than the cast of Friends or Survivor. Hunting just happens to be the plot line to their stories, the rest of it is just another choreographed tv show or video to add to the collection alongside your kids Disney collection and your wifes chic flicks!
