RE: Stan Potts and North American Whitetail
You know you really love hunting when you've killed 3 whitetails that score over 200 and yet you still almost bust a nut when you drop that 140 ten point. He needs to support hunter saftey systems....it's the only thing that keeps him from falling out of a tree stand after killing a deer.

Stan is great without him there is no North American Whitetail TV in my opion. I think its great he gets fired up. If it doesn't get your blood pumpin then you should probaly quit hunting

Nope, not pointing fingers at anybody, but if you look at the many forums on this site you will see very much of what I am talking about.

I know if I was given the opportunity to be on a show like that, get paid to hunt full time I sure would be excited to, as I think most of us would. Some people let envy and jealousy eat at them.

i don't know if some of it is an act or all emotion BUT what i do know is when you aren't excited after a successful hunt...you need to quit hunting.

BHF I have no problem with someone using an outfitter (as long as it is not behind a high fence) when they go out of state or country for a hunt ...most only have a week or ten days which leaves very little time to scout ... I don't see much difference in a hunter who uses an outfitter or a guide to one who uses trail cameras to do their leg work .... but I do think that these TV hunters have the best of ALL worlds when it comes to hunting ...they have name recognition ...sponsors to pay for the trip ...the time to invest in the hunt ...the lack of preasure knowing if you dont score on this trip there's always the next one ...being put in the best stands in the BEST of areas ... a lot of these hunts Stevie Wonder COULD kill a deer ....but to act like you just made the kill of the decade EVERYTIME you shoot like Stan Potts tries to make you beleive is rediculous...IMHO

Not true Billy, he may sit in the same weather but he doesn't scout, hang his own stands,

I think there is more pressure to get the kill on "film" than no pressure! I see no problem with getting excited with a kill, if I don't get fired up when I kill one thats the day I stay home! Stan hunts his way, you hunt your way and I hunt my way, no need to bash anyone of us!

...as for more pressure while on film I would beg to differ my friend ...what pressure ..when you know if you get skunked or miss that when you leave its cost you nothing (free hunts) ...and that next week you will be in Texas ...then the nest week Iowa ...then the next week Kansas ....so on and so forth ...I mean WHAT kind of pressure is THAT ...for the average guy who has to pay a months wages to go on a hunt like that now THATS pressure !dd
