Say what ya want about Atlas, but all I know is thathe's batting 1.000 on the bowhunting contest. Not many people can say that... The guy's shot more deer than some of y'all have ever seen from a treestand.
I'd take him on my team any day.
Sometimes I think he doesn't deserve all the flack that comes his way. (I know, he argues, which invites the criticism). All is fair in love and war, I s'pose.
He fills his tags - and that alone, in my eyes at least, puts him among the elite in our sport. He knows deer, and could wait out a bigger one if he really wanted. We all know he could.However, he's showed us all, with his actions - not words, that size reallydoesn't matter (to him). I can respect that, personally.
If Atlas is happy, then that is all that should matter. Ihave a shot at a deer90% of the time Ibowhunt, about 40 to 45 hunts in a bow season, probably the same deer.5 years agoI decidedthat size does matter to me and I think there is a ton of peoplewith me. Iam not saying myway is the "right" way, but it isn't the wrong way, either. Icould go years without tagging out just to get the big one! I just love sittin' in the tree!
