I'm guessing the unnamed FORMER game warden must have been fired or something and has an axe to grind.

While I enjoy the entertainment value of Fresh Tracks and Meat Eater, the education by word and deed is very valuable. Its not just yucking it up and having a good ol boy time, but you can tell that there is studied, thoughtful positions being taken to a level beyond the hosts themselves when regarding the environment, wildlife management, and governmental policy issues. I'm sure that there is a fine line/tightrope being walked when shooting/editing each episode to provide both the true to life hunt, as well as provide the aforementioned education.
Those folks mentioned in the OP link all seem to be thinkers, movers and doers in today's outdoor world. I am glad to (internet) know one of them away from the TV screen, and from where I sit, is the real deal.
Last time I was at a 'show" Randy waited in line to talk to me!I will add that it was nice to see how long the line was for the meet and greet with Randy at the Leupold area during SHOT. I cruised thorough that area a number of times and I saw other meet and greet sessions with far smaller lines. It is good to know that TV viewers are liking a guy who runs a class act rather than an ass act. Now if more networks and sponsors could take notice.
......... I just got back from the SHOT show and spent some time with him and a couple of his business buds. There was a lot of talk about what is going on and how to reverse them. It is sad that some things are going to be tough when you have networks and ORGS that are clueless or afraid to muzzle those making things go sour.
......My view on some things have changed too, maybe with age for all I know. But I do know is that if hunters have the "If they don't like it F##K them" attitude it will be a losing battle with the voting base of those who do not hunt. Hunters need to choose wisely the places to do battle and be educated on what those things are otherwise we will be caught in a "strangle hold"
I can't comment on the other guy but i can on Randy, and thought i would share the conversation i had with a fellow hunter in the UK.I've met Randy and Renella at separate BHA events. One was very nice had beers and talked with everyone and was a pleasure to be around. I was happy to give him a ride to his motel after the event. The other was standoffish with a tinge of arrogance and gave many other people at the event the same I'm here for a good cause but leave me alone attitude. I think both are great spokesmen for our sport but Randy is the only one I'd like to have beers with again. Thanks Randy for all you do.
