I don't think he is dumb, but his passion for hunting is strong. I'd rather see him miss an animal than wound it like a lot of people do. You guys who say he misses that and misses this never see him actually wound an animal though and leave it. He does it the hard way and that is true. He hand makes all of his arrows and he made his bow too. I have a lot of respect for the man and I think his show is great. I just watched him tonight shoot a goose with a long bow. It took him 3 years to do it, but he kept at and finally accomplished his goal. He is a very inspiring person.
