OL magazines used to keep the final page or inside of the back cover reserved for a neat Q&A with a sports star, actor, or celebrity about their hunting/fishing stories. I personally met Henry Winkler with my OL issue he was in, and had him autograph

I have occasion to bump into a celebrity one in awhile, none of them hunt anymore. One told me his wife put so much pressure on him it was not worth it.

Back in the day, Pat McManus stories were there. wish they'd find a replacement for him.

There will never be another McManus. I re-read the book collections of his essays all the time. Someone at Field and Stream once referred to Bill Heavey as the next McManus and I wanted to puke.

I loved Pat McManus! I still call one of my friends Rancid Crabtree and he doesn't know why. Probably a good thing...

I get the feeling that movie and TV personalities might not get invited to many Hollywood parties if they publicly endorse hunting. Their celebrity spouses would probably be forced to dump them or suffer the social consequences. Not to unfair about this situation consider the matter in a different light. If YOU had worked a lifetime to hone your craft (or business knowledge) and were about to assume the role ( or job) of a lifetime that came with a big pay cheque would you dodge that hunting question if it jeopardized your chances? Weighing your hunting hobby and philosophy against a lifetime of endeavor, mortgages, essential or just plain fun acquisitions, kid's college, your retirement and an uncertain future makes it a difficult choice. I practically preach hunting in this forum but if I stood to lose a contract by way of a CEO who objected to hunting and it would put half my staff out of work I would claim my hunting days were over. Yes, I would lie shamelessly because it would be selfish and irresponsible to do otherwise. Man, it is a complicated world we live in!

Hollywood's active anti hunting culture today is sad but true. It may actually prevent an active hunter from getting a job on certain films

One guy is Matt Light. He has a foundation and brings kids out hunting. I know many other NFL/MLB players will make an appearance at hunts for special needs kids, etc. One big name in the would be Chipper Jones, but he's retired now. Another retired person would be Brett Favre. Tons of fisherman as well. During the world series this year Ned Yost(KC manager) mentioned he was looking forward to deer hunting.

OL magazines used to keep the final page or inside of the back cover reserved for a neat Q&A; with a sports star, actor, or celebrity about their hunting/fishing stories. I personally met Henry Winkler with my OL issue he was in, and had him autograph it (pictures in my username's photos). It's neat to see these folks who make all this money doing and enjoying the same things we do; makes them seem more "human". Since they went away with this, does any one know any cool sports stars or actors with some unique trophies or awesome hunting stories? I have seen a few videos of Dale Earnhardt hunting which were so neat to see. Since I am from Pittsburgh, Steeler's Ben Roethlisberger and Brett Keisel are HUGE hunters; always wearing their camo hats for interviews. Thanks all!
