    I'm not sure if anyone has seen this, but it is kind of comical to see two hunting celebrities going back and forth on Facebook.

    I'm not sure why there is a beef between the two, but Brackett is suggesting the two do a pay per view cage match to settle whatever squabble there is between them. Personally, I'd take Brackett in that match.

    I know a lot of folks don't care for some of the hunting personalities on TV, but I like the shows these guys are on these days. I will say that Waddell comes across as a d oucher for dogging on Brackett, seemingly, unprovoked.

    In the world of respectable hunters, this isn't even a contest. Pretty much every episode of Bracketts show is provoking to a real hunter.

    I actually can't stand Brackett and I don't mind Waddell.

    What are they fighting about, exactly?

    They should just have a thumb wrestling match and settle there spat.

    Brackett does come off as slightly annoying, but I think he is a genuine dude and truly cares about his fan. I don't get that from Waddell.

    Brackett just has too much southern boy arrogance for me.

    Brackett accused Waddell of having someone post on his FB page for him. Waddell's response was "Big side burns and being insecure do the same for you in the hunting industry. Nothing!"

    Brackett is from IL. Waddell is the southerner.

    The picture is getting clearer now.

    While I'm not a fan of Brackett, this whole thing is pretty classless on both sides IMHO. I really thought Michael was better than this and I'm disappointed.

    I agree. I enjoy seeing these guys shoot big deer. Wish they would stick to that and drop the trumped up drama.

    I don't follow either on social media, but I agree with RJ. I always thought Waddell was a bit more classy than that.

    Il bet there is an underlying issue between the two that most know nothing about. I could care less either way.

    I'd put my money on Brackett. Waddell is a bigger guy but I think he's soft. Brackett could take him.

    Backcountry, I don't follow the personal lives of celebrities, let alone "pro" hunters. I suppose I was too quick to judge him as classy based on some TV appearances.
