Bill didn't "get rid of them", he couldn't keep them ;)



As far as some of the other stuff being talked about on this thread, keep it classy guys. If you want to rake muck post it elsewhere....

I do agree that there is little to MWW currently that I find interesting. If you don't like it, don't watch it guys! That show survives on number of "views." Just like some of the outdoor crap peddled on cable. Don't buy the package or you are supporting it with your dollars.

With all the products that are available on the mark now (trail cams, food plot seeds, hoosker dos, hoosker don't and what not), there are a lot of people hunting primo grounds that don't kill big deer consistently. Caleb Byers and Bill Winke do, so I will still give them props. Their situations don't apply to most (especially me) but I still find their content entertaining.

Haven't watched midwest whitetail at all this year. And I only have watched the hunting public a half dozen times. For some reason, I feel like I gained more last year when the guys were still with mw. I know they are trying to keep their spots under the radar, but I feel like some value was lost from one year to the next. Maybe its cause they had less air time so they tried to focus on the important details, and now with all the time in the world, they kinda miss emphasizing whats important. Just my thought. I will say aaron, zach and greg are some top notch guys and very good hunters. Don't want to take that away from them

I think we need to be careful here to call others out on their style of hunting. Since Aaron and Zach left, I'm sure a lot of the beast members lost interest in MMW, but that's to be expected. And as others have said, if you aren't into their show, don't watch it. If a guy wants to strictly hunt public and hunt beds that's awesome. If a guy wants to hunt out of a big $ ground blind over his food plots, that's fine too, especially if that person worked his tail off to acquire that land and manage it for whitetails. Take Caleb Byers for example. Seems like a hard working kid with a wife who also shares in his passion. From what I gather watching MMW over the years he worked hard to purchase his property and he puts in all the work into making his plots and managing for for big bucks. He works a full time job like we all do. I don't think it's fair to criticize him or anyone else for that. Just my opinion.

IMO...When you put yourself out to the world on the internet or youtube, you have to expect not everyone is going to like what you do or how you do it. Guys that are doing this are fair game in my book. Sorry Jman...I think it goes with the territory.

This is the reason I don't video my hunts.

I get that tgreeno and I respect your opinion. It's similar to posting on forums. You put it out there for everyone to see and not everyone agrees with one another. It would be awfully boring if that were the case! I just hate to see fellow hunters bashing one another for reasons such as their vocabulary on camera or their methodology. One guys idea of a fulfilling hunt may be hiking into public a few miles back and shooting a buck as he comes out of a bed he scouted in the off-season. Another guy's idea of a fulfilling hunt is doing TSI and foodplot work in the off-season on land that he owns and shooting a mature buck out of a preset blind or stand. I'd give a handshake and my respect to each hunter. I guess I may feel this way bc there is such a lack of recruitment in my area with younger hunters. It's sad and I hope its not like this all over the country. If it takes a warm heated blind and lots of bean fed deer to get someone involved in hunting than that's great. If a kid wants to strap a stand on his back and hike way back into a swamp...then watch out cause there's a future beast in the making!!

Lost alot of respect for lee with him letting the producer showcase his wife like this for ratings. But sex sells its a shame.




Lope Tiff doesn’t have a push up bra in her closet! Lee paid way too much money for those things for her to need any more enhancements. She prolly doesn’t need a regular bra.


Regardless of how you view outdoor shows let's leave comments like these out of our forum. We're better than shaming some guys wife and she can wear whatever she wants. Granted I've never seen anybody hunting like that but we also don't have to watch the shows. I think most realize we hunt under different circumstances.




Your right bro. Sorry if i offended at all. We are better than that. Sorry just trying to get a laugh. But ur right thats not the right things to say. Wont happen again

I recall laying down in front of TV to watch bass fishing with Bill Dance an Roland Martin. Didn't really see to many hunting shows that I recall. Always looked forward to new products. Things I didn't know about.

Thought to myself then. Sure would be neat to do something like that for a living. Never pursued it. Matter a fact I bet there is so much pressure to produce an be productive to push products that reality is lost. That's why they hunt these outfitters that is where money comes from I would think.

I heard somebody say one time. When something you enjoy doing is no longer fun it becomes a job.
I'm reason they call it hunting and not shooting.

You’ll never catch me complaining about what Tiffany is wearing. If my wife sold dvds and product like that I’d let her hunt with almost anyone

This is a good point. It did seem like in 2016 our public land hunts had more of a storyline to follow and we could teach people more effectively through those. We were far to scattered this year making it harder to drill into specific details of a spot. We actually had less time to focus on hunting than before because of a number of things. Editing other hunts, starting a business, etc.

We'll try to remedy that in 2018.

I have been keeping up with your work for the last several years and have learned a lot.
Aaron and the public land guys and Bill and the managed land guys both share a lot of useful info about the process they use to be successful.

I can apply more of the info from the public land guys but I am always looking for additional info to make me a better hunter.

This site is also awesome in that reguard.

Aaron, I have enjoyed the content you guys put out both at MW and THP keep up the good work.

Funny you say that, I just saw Bill Dance afew weeks ago at a Bass Pro. The man is still wearing that Tenessee Hat! Lol. Think the t.v fishing guys have it a lot easier, diff baits aren't looked at as gadgetry, lot easier to catch fish etc... my buddy guided a tv show host last summer on my local lake. They made him wear the same clothes for 3 days so they could make it look like everything was caught on one day.

I started to feel pitty for Winke this year, I see a man who doesn't know which way to play his hand. He seems afraid of change, yet knows that it is necessary to stay relevant. It also seems like he has lost a lot of interest or drive. I believe if he finds the drive he will find a way to continue to put for good content and I hope he figures it out.
Losing great guys like Aaron Zach and Greg will certainly take some steam out of your sails, and I have enjoyed seeing them start off on their own. Hopefully they and Winke can both bring great stuff to the table.
