    Remember - here in the good old US of A we are presumed innocent until proven guilty. I'll reserve judgment until the facts come out and there is an official ruling.

    He's a multi-millionaire. I would expect no less.

    So, Mr. Huntmaster may be a Master Baiter?

    Statements from the "foodplot" guy and cameraman don't seem to be all that unbelievable. He leased 800 acres that Larry Potterfield owns in MO out from under a local guy that took the time to show him around. Before they left, there were guys there putting up stands for Gregg and figuring out foodplots and another guy hanging cameras. All Gregg had to do was show back up and shoot a deer. Seems like a Masters effort...... Or, not.

    Jimmy Houston, Spook Spann, Chris Brackett, Uncle Ted, Theresa Vail, Jeff Foiles…. and maybe the list grows. Way too much money involved in what was once a hobby.

    Crossbow lovin loser poacher who's been busted before. This guy is a tool. All of his buddies are saying that he was setup. I'm surprised Mathews had no made any statements concerning this.

    He’s a person young hunters look up to and in that he should just know better. Is this what we teach our younger archers. Be greedy and you too can accelerate and become a successful pro staffer. Let alone teach them you can get away with it as long as you got the cash flow. It’s pathetic it happens every pro sport. If you can’t succeed as a pro without cheating then you simply shouldn’t be competing at a pro level

    Because like all business it’s a good ol boys club.

    I’m not going to lie, if some of the guys I watch hunting celeb wise got busted for poaching I’d be upset, luckily none of these guys are on my list.

    I ain't passing judgment till he has his court appearance.
    Rumors can ruin ANYONE if they are said enough!
