I met Chuck at a show when I was a kid, before I could legally hunt. He wouldn't give me time of day, and to this day I hate him. However I think he's for real and possibly the best bowhunter who ever lived.
There are alot of TV hunters who couldn't hunt thier way out of a Wal-Mart. There are also a few who are bashed on this board and others who have been knocking down big critters since nobody cared. I believe much of this is caused by "He kills big bucks all the time and I never kill any so he must be cheating" Truth is he's just plain better.
