Bill Jordan along with all the other Realtree Pro-Staffers hunt entirely 100% fare chase, free ranging whitetails. Absolutly no high fences.

OK we had the question about who that you personally like to hunt with, so now I would like to know who you would least like to hunt with and why.

My least favorite at this time would have to be Dan and Guy Fitzgerald. Don' t get me wrong 20 years ago I would have jumped at the chance to hunt with Dan and Noel Feathers but now I feel that Dan has sold out to the almighty dollar and his show is one big beg fest to try and sale his line of crap. And Guy just annoys the crap out of me.


Buck,
I know for a " Fact" that Realtree does hunt high tamed deer, I mean for 1. Who can shoot Boone n Crockett bucks left and right??????? 2. Realtree is so popular they don' t. " DON" T" have to pay for the hunting on gamefarms and ranches. Why: Because that promotes business for the game farm. " Yeah we had the Realtree Boys come and hunt out land." Commen SENSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Although I understand these guys who hunt tamed and preserved deer need to have " big bucks" shot to thrill the viewer. But that does not mean thay can RUIN the meaning of hunting . . . Id like to see some PRO come out and hunt some Wisconsin Farmland and Cedar Swamps

The Realtree crew also hunts The Sanctuary in Michigan with ole Skipper Bettis...I' m pretty certain that if a high fence deal as well. I' ve seen video footage of Toxey and his gang up there too.

Brandon, Starting a few years ago, Team Realtree went to entirely 100% fair chase hunting. The Tecomate is not a high fenced ranch. All of these animals are free ranging.

Now, I could kill a 180" buck every year if I wanted to, just like Bill, David, and Michaell. I just don' t have the time and money.

The areas they hunt are private property that is just managed to grow big deer. If I had a couple thousand acres of land, the time, and the money to plant these food plots and manage the herd, I am sure I would have as much success as them.

If you don' t believe me, go to Realtree' s website and get on the forums. Michaell Waddel and John Tate have been on there a good bit lately. Ask them about it, heck, e-mail them and ask them about the areas they hunt.

Buck Magnet,

We have 100 acres of corn soybeans oats and alfalpha. Along with streams and dense woods. Well You' ve got the food source, Well u got the bedding area, and well theres ur water resource. THis would be a hunters paradise the only thing missing is the 180 - 200 class bucks Realtree is taking. Their bucks are managed properly such as a 1-2 or average buck to doe ratio. I wouldn' t call this a hunt when the owner of the farm/ranch calls yah up and tells ol bill jordan they have a nice buck worth taking. My Uncle is a guide for Texas' s King Ranch. He has people who TRACK down, pinpoint travel routes and practically know the buck like the back of thier hand . . . Now who should be doing this, the guide or the hunter. Every hunter out there scouts his own terrain finding bucks, Team Realtree just hears about a buck and goes off and shoots it and calls it a day. You don' t see them scouting, unless its the day before and the guide and them sit and watch the buck. I mean Come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [:@]

RE: Who would you " LEAST" like to hunt with????
 

You just said it yourself, the dee are MANAGED!!! I can' t stress that enough. In order to have huge bucks (every buck has the chance of getting huge), you have to give them food, nutrtion, good habitat, age, and some sort of management. How do the Tecomate guys grow so many 170-180" deer, but letting so many 140-150" deer pass, which were the 110-130" deer the year before.

I will admit that none of us have the money, time, land, determination, and everything else it takes to grow bucks like that constantly, but, it isn' t the way alot of people see it. These guys aren' t put in a pen and told to shoot a deer.

As far as the scouting goes, if a farmer tells you that he has seen a nice 10 point feeding in the south west corner of his alfalfa field every night from " time A" to " time B" and where the deer is comming from, are you going to hunt there? This would be help and the hunter should do everything? Correct?

I am not trying to be rude, just stating my opinion. It isn' t just a walk in the park for these guys. They just simply have the odds stacked in their favor. Most people bash them out of jealousy, and, as I will admit, I am INCREDIBLY jealous of them, I will not bash them. These are just your regular guys who took a dream (that most of us have) and turned it into reality. They are doing nothing but helping our sport out, and in my book, that is enough to get my respect right there.

RE: Who would you " LEAST" like to hunt with????
 

i agree

RE: Who would you " LEAST" like to hunt with????
 

I have yet to throw in my .02 on this deal, but I do have a question for Brandon.

Just where are these 180-200" bucks that realtree kills? To the best of my knowledge, they have never killed a 180 buck. They sure have not killed any 200" deer.

I have personally met many of the hunting video team guys out there today, some of them several times, but have yet to meet Bill Jordan.

Not meeting him, it would be hard to say he is a good guy, except for one little thing.

Dale Earnhardt liked him.....that`s all I need to know!

Groups like realtree that are trying to make a living from producing videos need to hunt alot, in many different locals to get the footage needed. They obviously don`t have time to personally scout every place they hunt.

Heres a good example.....I have a farm in Pike Co, Illinois that has huge bucks on it. Thats a fact. Now, lets say I was to invite you to come and bowhunt with me. Since you were never there before I suggest to you where to hang a stand, or better yet, take you to one of mine that is already hung.

How bad are you gonna feel when you shoot one of those big bucks? Would that make you less of a hunter? I think not! You still had to be scent free, be still, maintain your composure when one of those big boys came in.

If you have that good habitat in Wi. you can have monster bucks of your own. And in a very short time. Stop shooting young bucks, kill more does. In three years you will see huge bucks, and lots of them. Lord knows Wisconsin has the genetics to do it.
