I know I'm going to show some ignorance.
Heck, I've even been told a few times that I live under a rock or three.
However, since I've been chasing predators for a decent number of years, I thought I had heard of MOST of the "names" in the business.
You know, guys with the names like Blair, Stewart, Burnham, Roberson, South, Anderson. And even some desert dweller a lot of folks call "Uncle".
Back in '08, I even was lucky enough to meet a great assortment of old "names" & "new names". Even got to meet some "no names", such as myself.
But until I heard people talking about this "Predator Nation" TV show, I had never before heard of this guy named Fred Eichler.
Now in the past few weeks, I've scoured & read all I could find on the internet & in print about this man.
And you know what...I still can't say I know much about him.
Now don't get me wrong. I readily admit, from the things I've read, he's 10X the hunter I ever will be. (although I reserve judgement as to the coyote hunting, if all things were even, LOL, as I have full confidence in my limited abilities.)
I'm just curious why I should trust what he says & shows on TV.
I trust & respect guys like Glenn Guess, Tony Tebbe, Kerry Carver & Rick Robbins wholeheartedly. But gee, none of them have a TV show.
OK, so Kerry DID make a video...and TT was going to & needs to...but the point is ALL of these guys (and many others who I didn't have room to mention) have proven their worth to the predator hunting community.
Before Predator Nation, how many predator hunters had ever heard of Fred Eichler?
Again, I'm NOT trying to badmouth the guy.
I just don't understand what is supposed to make him so special in the predator hunting world.
Please, enlighten me if you can. After all I'm told I live under rocks.
