When it comes to rifle's it's Jim Carmichel.

Here's a vote for Charlie Alsheimer. Second to none in whitetail knowledge and photography.

I have two that, in my book, are the best:
Leonard Lee Rue III (whitetail knowledge and photography)
and any member of the Benoit family, simply the best deer hunters in North America!.

Good call on Pat McManus! For overall big game hunters, I like either Fred Bear or Chuck Adams, both have a ton of animals at close ranges. Fisherman gets a little tougher I think. Muskies are my fish of choice so in that sport I go with Pete Mania or Bob Mehsikomer.
