Michael Waddell out on his own.

Please forgive me if this has already been posted.

I just read where Michael Waddell is going out on his own but will continue to do RT Roadtrips for 5 more years.

Read the rest of the story here: Waddell to Road Trip for 5 More Years!

Interesting ... but not surprising ... guess this gets him off the hook here for not showing up for anything on the forums lol ... oh well best of luck to him.

Hopefully thats a smart move for him.

[DU_man_84]

[HarvDog]

Sad to hear he's leaving RT but glad he'll still be hosting Roadtrips!

This was posted in the deer hunting room not long ago.

need2hunt sent Scott Hughes a note asking him about it and this is what Scott sent back to him.

<font color="red"> Michael has stepped out of the box as an official employee and is now contracted with us for years to come. The reason being is he can now do some things (like the GM deal) and not cause any problems for us and other retailers (or companies). He was just getting so many offers (understandably) and this affords him the freedom to do it.

And Realtree and Road Trips is part of that contract. It's really like nothing has changed. He's still in the office and Ashley (his wife) still works for us. Everything is cool.

Hey, I'm sure he's gunna be same ol Waddell, just a few more sponsers. We still got at least five more years of roadtrips to look forward to. Just a lil change is all, I bet we will see more of him if anything.

Money talks...

[toddyboman]

Hes not really leaving RT, just now he able to work with others too. He will make even MORE money now! At least thats the way I understand it.

Sad to see him go, he was a good addition to the Monster Bucks videos, really good personality. Glad to hear he's still gonna do Roadtrips tho, at least for a little while. Hope this works out for him, he really does seem like a good guy, and what a hunter!!

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure he is STILL doing MB. As well as Roadtrips

[stevebeilgard]

this surprises me, for sure. but, michael will do well... and i wish him all the best.

[BowJoe]

I was wondering if he would still be co host of MB as well as the other videos. I think I'd hesitate before buying another MB video this year if 1. he's not in it and 2. if it's as crappy as the ones last year. JMHO.

[wtnhunt]

Yep, heard about this. Had heard he had gotten out but was still contracted out for a length of time and would continue doing roadtrips.

[whitetailkiller]

i don't have all the details,, so iask this question!! does anyone know the name of his new company? i want to know if i should look for a new line of videos from him... will he do a muzzy video? man i can't wait to see what happens next......don't get me wrong i'm going to stay faithful to realtree, but i'm going to follow mike where ever he goes/does !!!! he is awesome at what he does, and i can't wait to see what doors he goes through now that a bunch of doors are opening for him!!!! good luck mike and i'll be looking for you!!!!
