And this thread is exactly why if they did come on, they would stay anonymous. We've had them here, and look at the criticisms.
Exactly right, Rob......

Itis oddthere seems to be somanyguys make so many negative posts about the Pro's lately. Not sure why. I'll reserve my final judgement on people and Pros until after I haveshaken their hand, or tried to shake their hand lol.

I also agree with Rob,I was just trying to state the past experience that I saw with Don Higgins in the most polite way I could.
There is arrogance in all walks of life.We could learn a lot from these folks if we would listen and not try to jump on every thing we didn't agree with right away.
Most of us can tell immediately if someone is the real deal or not.I believe for the most part the "Pro's" are the same as you and I in that they are passionate about hunting and they have found a way to make their living at it.Given my nature I appreciate the understated folks more.I have met a number of professionals at sportsmans shows and seminars and almost all of them are down to earth regular folks with no pretense.
I think a lot of hunters look at these folks with a very critical eye because if in their own mind they can see flaws they believe it elevates themselves.

And Lee and Tiffany are part of HNI. They direct people to HNI on the show. If you were Tiffany would you come here? If you were Lee would you want Tiffany to come here. I wouldn't because of the comments and behavior and that's sad. Something has to change guys.

We have Hunsucker, any questions? I did not think so

Hunsucker shoots an arrow at FPS, and that is when he throws the arrow with his LH
Hunsucker once Killed a Buck by looking at it
Huncker does not climb atree to put his stand up, he pulls it down to him.

Since I am the only one who really said any thing really bad I guess I should have kept my mouth shut. But what I said was true naturally there are many exceptions to what I said I have also met a lot of great people while on that circuit. Yes I watch some of them on the hunting shows some I dont. I dont watch to see the stars but to see really nice deer. And to try to pick up tips to help me out we can all learn something by watching and listening to others no matter how long we have been in the game. I have been doing this (bowhunting) since 1965 that doesnt make me an expert at all but I have been fairly successful at it. No I have never taken an animal that the world thinks is unbelievable but have scored on some pretty nice bucks in my time a few made 130 which is pretty good here where I hunt. And I usually fill all my Archery tags each year. That doesnt make me a pro or even a great hunter only a very lucky one in that I have had good places to hunt. And yes if I had ever hit the lottery you guys would have probably saw me in some of the hunts on TV as I would have spent most of my money hunting in all the states that I could and Canada not just because I wanted a world class buck or bear but because I love Bowhunting and would do it everyday if I could.

Hunscuker is the new Chuck Norris. [8D]

Yea I have to reiterate the sentiment stated above regarding the tone and comments taken towards the "pros". I'm sure on one hand any guy would appreciate a tasteful compliment about his wife, but sometimes the comments get carried away and I'm sure it gets old to them.

I've meta few "pros" and they never seemed much different that a regular person with a huge passion for hunting.

I get disgusted with the comments as well ..... guys seem to think that making questionable statements they consider "compliments" about a man's wife, make them more of a man .... IMO, it lessens them as one .... a real man is repectful to women, not treating them like they are a piece of meat. Alot of us have pretty wives .... would we want people treating them that way?

Don is a great guy, I email him a few times with questions. He always answered them back. I would no put Don with the group as a pro. Don is like John Eberhart orJoe Brooks, they find there own land to hunt. It's way differnet than what I think the poster is talking about.

There is a huge difference from what Don Higgons does and Mikel Waddel does. Would I classfy them both as "Pros" no I would not.
