I don’t really respect what any of them stand for. if I take a close look at the commercialization of killing of game animals to produce and sell a product and it’s impact on the average joe, as opposed to why I participate, none of them give me a warm fuzzy feeling. Knowing that is the underlying motivation for what they do cheapens the whole lot to me. You've never met a Professional Hunter, as in an African PH. I’m sure it reflects more poorly on me than them, but the current tendency to refer to the guys on tv as “professional hunters” really bugs me. A PH is a licensed guide usually in Africa. The other people are guys with tv shows. It’s a little like calling myself a dr if I put up a YouTube videos of putting a bandaid on my kid I get they are called professional hunters. But if you have an MD on your name and you make youtube videos you would still call yourself a dr. If your profession is being a hunter, you can call yourself a professional hunter in my mind. I get it's not the best choice of words. Maybe hunter/media personality?

Marlin Perkins, and that other guy that did most of the work while Marlin circled safely above in the helicopter. They didn't sell hunts, just insurance.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.

And Carson would do s skit spoofing Marlin making Mai-tais while Jim nearly gets killed. Funny stuff back in the day.

YouTube - Bubba Rountree Outdoors (Not really professional hunters but they film a lot of hunts and they love to deer hunt with shotguns. The reloading segments for high performance buckshot are the main reason I watch it).
About the only "TV Hunters" I like are the Tecomate guys. I like TV Hunters that can actually shoot.

Don't know if I would call him a professional hunter but Aron Snyder of Kifaru gets my attention. Pulls no punches
If it's not overkill then it's underachievement.

The hunting public. Only hunting video/show I’ll watch anymore. Don’t deer hunt anymore but their videos are a lot of fun to watch. A lot of respect for them.
