Mike, apart from a ton of videos online, he won the Weatherby Award a few years back (2013?) so he's done lots of hunting.Who is he?.....
I agree that it's easy to get a bit (or a lot) cocky, and that seems to be what's happened here. I also agree with @Philip Glass that it's sometimes easy to point fingers at TV personalities, but frankly, they tend to bring these things on themselves. Showcasing poor hunting practices is never a good idea.
As an aside, I've hunted with some PH's often enough that we can have some pretty honest conversations, and I hear things about certain "TV hunters" that are pretty bad. I was told that most of them have the sense, though, not to show the bad stuff. One example - the "one shot kill" actually took about 3 and the animal was moved from the place it was found to the place the first shot happened to keep the narrative realistic. I don't like that, but at least no one's showing it as the way we ought to do things.
