Actually, I wouldn't want to be a pro hunter.....I hunt because I love it and I wouldn't want to have to do it.....I guide/guided especially turkeys and believe me, it becomes a job....and you begin to almost loath it....almost....I'm much happier doing what I'm doing and having my foot in the door of the outdoor industry and making a little on the side rather than relying on it.....it has it's perks but for a job...no thank you..it's a finicky business.

What you should do is have a hunting buddy of yours video tape some hunts, and then after a couple good hunts just try and send them to someone who already has a show or some movies like the Drury's or someone like that just a thought

I've heard that people who love sex become porn stars. And then they stop enjoying sex. If it can happen with sex it can happen with hunting.
C'mon now that sounds a little extreme.
Maybe if it were the same girl everyday twice a day....naahhh

It's easy! All you've got to do is go and achieve the Super Slam, write a couple of books about it, get a magazine to let you write a monthly column, wear a black watch cap and grow a wooly worm- looking moustache over your patented goofy grin....
I think it'd begreat to be an outdoors writer, but a TV hunter? NO WAY! If you don't make a kill you don't have a show. If you'rewriting abook or magazinearticle, your deadline isn't anywhere near as short as thatof a TV hunter. And the stuff a TV hunter has to endure! For sure, some of them shouldn't be allowed in the woods without a keeper, wouldn't know an ethical shot from a hole in the ground. But even the good ones... even if you make a clean shot and the camera has a wierd angle, everyone on forums like this will be screaming for your head on a platter, swearing you made an unethical shot.
Nope. I wouldn't be on TV at all. Until the ethics police get a little less trigger happy and/or a littlemore intelligent, forget it.
