I have been an outfitter and a guide for a long time, getting close to 4 decades. During the last 20 years I have been around TV film crews for hunting shows about a dozen times while guiding for other outfitters, and to be honest, about 80% of them were complete dorks and prima donnas and couldn't hunt their way out of a paper bag. The amount of complete fabrication that occurs in the shows, once they have been put together and edited is mind boggling. Only one I can remember actually appeared to be a seasoned hunter.

As an outfitter I will not take TV crews and have turned down at least 5 in just the last couple years. Ted is one of the few I would actually consider having as a client, as I have heard nothing but good things about him when he has been in others camps. He pitches in and is one of the boys from what I hear. The language.............. pffft, who cares. My wife and I spent a lot of time in the oil field country up north and heck the F bomb is probably the first word out of a babies mouths up there, not Momma or Dadda. LOL I think my wife could give him a good run for the money on that if she tried hard.

I never thought much of Waddell, anyway. Always seemed fake to me.
