RE: Justification for acting like fools on TV
Anyone could kill a monster if you worked for on of these shows. They get to hunt the best ranches and get the best bucks so the ranch gets noticed on tv. They are a rip, and most of the shoot em with rifles from 300 yards with a guid telling them where to sit everyday. I do like the shows but dont let them get you down because you dont see bucks like that. The bucks there are all raised and watched, they are like penned animals/pets. If you had 10,000 to drop on a deer you could get an easy 190-200 class if you contacted a ranch. Just watch for entertainment. These guys also talk about all the sent gear when the deer they shot are so used to people watching them.
