what a deal
Well how many of you have grown up watching hunting shows, and wish that could be you? Well now you can. If any of you watch Cedar Spur outdoors you can become a field staff member for $1,000 dollors. What a deal You get to pay them to use your footage and you can never use your footage agiain. Oh no gaurintee that your footage will be used but if it is you get a $100 bucks back. Almost forgot you also get a hat.

RE: what a deal
I'll take two. ;)

RE: what a deal
What? Are you serious? Where do I sign up?

RE: what a deal
You think that sounds far-fetched?
I see guys riding down the road on bicycles with logos all over their "touring gear". How much you reckon THAT costs them? Want to advertise for PING by carrying their golf bag? What's THAT cost ya? I agree in "pride of ownership".....but I want to get SOMETHING for what I'm paying for (in terms of added value). I wouldn't pay $100 (much less $1K) to be on TV, hunting. I'm afraid someone would recognize me and know where I live if I shot a nice deer. The same degenerates Quick was describing.....the ones living in mobile homes and driving $50K trucks with ATY's and bass boats behind them.......THEY will use their tax "refund" (snicker-snicker.....cough-cough....OVERPAYMENT) to pay this, though. I'll bet you $100. |
RE: what a deal
That really isn't that crazy if you think about it and the game ranch market.
Guy's with little hunting experience pay thousands of dollars to kill a big buck so they can put it on their wall. Logically, why wouldn't they pay 1k more to get their "big hunt" on tv and brag about how they were a staff member at a big hunting lodge? It sounds like a decent business plan. NOTE: I did not say I would do it or condone it. |
RE: what a deal
You get a film crew to film your hunt, apparently. They'll even film you on your own property (as long as you are within a 50-mile radius of Jackson, MI.) Small price to pay for such an intense ego massage. [8D]

RE: what a deal
I wouldn't let them film me for free. I'd be too embarrassed when something inevitably went wrong. Plus, knowing my luck, I'd get buck fever, lose control and take a bad shot (straight down through the back)and they'd put it on TV.:D

RE: what a deal
Oh so are you guys saying that I should stop payment on my check then?[8D]

RE: what a deal
Actually I think the price may have come down. When I was in Coloradoin 2004a couple of guys were filming (elk hunt w/bow) in hopes to sell footage for I believe they said $2,800.

RE: what a deal
I guess I understand why some folks would do it, but I just don't have that much of an ego. I enjoy my accomplishments and do my share of bragging when I've earned the right to do so, but I don't care much for the idea of being in the spotlight.

RE: what a deal
Yea i agree with that. I think that they should pay you for your hunt. MTV licensed a video from me earlier this year.....hunting shows should do the same. They should make a hunting show where they accept tapes and the best ones get aired and the owners get paid!

[snip] I'll bet you $100 You can paypal me. :D At any rate...this whole thing is just anopportunity for those who haven't been lucky enough to meet the right people or make the right contacts. I'd wager a fair bet that there are 100s if not 1000s of hunters in this country who are much better hunters and shooters than lets say Michael Waddell. But, none of them happened to meet Bill Jordan at just the right point in history. His real talent happens to be his ability to be entertaining in front of the camera. Anyone of us could stand up in front of a camera and smoke a doe....but....could you pull it off with style? As for paying to be on TV...thats retarted. |
RE: what a deal
Allright Cay4,
I can see CMT, but MTV? pimps and hos? You gotta provide more details. |

RE: what a deal
ill bet you theres idiots that will do it.

RE: what a deal
Now Hunsucker's deal is a lot different than the original idea of paying 1k.
I think that the collection from "amateurs" might make for a good video. It's the YouTubization (sp? Preach) of hunting shows! |

RE: what a deal
ORIGINAL: brucelanthier You can bet that if Waddell or Drury were lousy hunters they wouldn't have made it as far as they have. |

RE: what a deal
ORIGINAL: HuntingBry Part of that too is personality. Both Mark Drury and Michael Waddell are very engaging and interesting people so you don't mind watching the non-hunting portions of their shows. I've seen a lot of videos out there where the hunting was pretty good, but the guys making it were boring. Some people just have that "it" in their personality. $1,000 or $1 million it doesn't matter, you can't buy "it." You either have it or you don't. |
