What do I need to do to become a "Prostaff Member"? I see all these guys on the Outdoor Channel and other shows on TV that are just shmucks! I say to my wife, "why couldn't I do that!". I hunt out in the wild, and not in some fenced in pen. I don't care if it's a 5,000 acre pen, it's still a pen.
These guys go out and say "we hunted for 5 days - really hard - and on the last evening of our hunt you will not believe what came out just at dark!" Come on! On a food plot, on a ranch where the guy that owns the place wants to get some publicity so he has a show filmed with his new "Good friend" (the shows star).
I want to see real life like I live it. Killing a doe every now and then, just hoping for a good buck to make it through the season to next year. Before the neighbor kid gut-shoots it and it runs off to die in my corn field for me to find from the smell!
What do I need to do to be a field tester for bows, broadheads, clothing, etc.? I hunt in the rain, sleet, snow, cold, wind, in the heart of Michigan with both corn fields and river flats for the deer to hide in. I walk these river flats and fields to kill several deer a year on our farm with both my bow and my guns (ML or rifle).
I won't suck up to anyone, but if they want true field testing of the gear that they advertise as "field tested by some of the world's top hunters", give it to the farm kids and the guys who really do test their own stuff to the limits!
Can anyone relate? We got guys on TV who couldn't find a deer in a barn, and they are "Redhead Pro-staff Members"! How much money did they pay to have their name put in lights?
