I know I will take the heat but I am home with my sick twins so I have been watching hunting shows all day. I see a ad for a trail cam with "Professional(guys who pay others to take them hunting)" talking about how all the PROS need a trail cam, then comes the "when you can't waste time in the field" line. I was shocked, enough that the next time I saw it I listened more closely. I sure am glad that time spent scouting, is "wasted" time in the field. Sure am glad I am NOT a pro if this is the current school of thought.
Hunting shows in general SUCK!!! I have never seen a bigger bunch of totally inept, clueless, worthless sportsmen, than all the PROFESSIONAL HUNTERS out there. I watch Eastmans, On your own, and some local shows weelky, and if I see them in the west occasionally, but this is the first I have spent the day watching. We as sportsman, with these CLOWNS out in public representing us look WORSE than the picture PETA et al paint of us. I REALLY can't tell the difference between cattle farming and whitetail hunting, and to my shock, on Hollywood Hunter, I now see this is spreading to mulies. I was really taken aback to just how horrible hunting and hunters look on these shows. According to the "PROS", if you don't have trail cams, watching your food plots, and your range finders, to help you shoot 1000+ yrds, in you scent free clothes, you just can't hunt. Infomericals are more believable.
I have the best proposal for a new show. Take Micheal Wadell, Lee and Tiffany, Tom Miranda, Jackie Bushman, THE PIG MAN, "The everything wild clowns", Hollywood Hunter, and a few others. Give them a ruger m-77, .270 with a normal everyday 3x9 stock, some plain jane binos, and walmart camo. Drop them in any national forest to hunt deer, elk, whatever, no guides, no trail cams, no laptops, no GPS. Give them a week. First see who is still alive(i bet lee kills tiffany). Who is not lost. Who saw any game animal. Who saw the animal they are hunting. Who could do anything with that animal(shoot it, gut it, bone it, etc.). This would be a GREAT SHOW. If your a PROFESSIONAL, you would have no problem, my bet, after 2 days all the "PROFESSIONALS" would need the search and rescue!
When they came for the road hunters I was not one so I said nothing. When they came for the oppurtunists I was not one so I said nothing. When they came for the public land hunters I was not one so I said nothing. When they came for me there was no one left to say anything!
