Justin,
That shoulder mount is still there because of pure laziness! I did go back down there a few times to load up more treestands etc. and I just forgot about that shoulder mount. 5 years later I have not made the trip back down there to retrieve the mount. I do have a few Iowa preference points now so i’ll be down there in the next year or two.
Nic,
I still love to hunt, but I don’t have that much desire to film / host it. It just gets to be too much work and I have found that I would rather just enjoy the limited hunting time I get and not try to film. A lot of the terrain I hunt in northern MN isn’t very conducive to filming anyways. Lots of sitting with very few deer sightings! I think THP does a great job keeping their content entertaining and real at the same time! I could see filming a one off here or there based around a specific destination hunt.
