As a kid I remember watching Monster Bucks and Buck Masters thinking those guys were incredible hunters. I was enamored with the amount of giant bucks they killed. In my naivety, I didn’t realize that the outfitter they were hunting with had done every bit of work that put them on that deer and they were glorified trigger pullers. What I have come to believe is that being a successful television hunting personality is really about marketing one’s self so that sponsors want you to represent their product. Not about your knowledge or expertise as a hunter.
I’m curious what you fellas think. What percentage of TV hosts do you believe are superior hunter/outdoorsman than you are? I can say, I believe guys like Fred Eichler and Tim Wells could hunt circles around me. There are a handful of others too. But some of these other guys, I’m not so sure that everything else being equal, they leave the woods with a deer that I couldn’t kill.
What do y’all think? Can you think of any other hunting television personalities that are clearly better outdoorsmen than you are? What percentage do you think are legitimate outdoorsmen as opposed to camo frat boys?
