I have met him. I've sat in a chair in the back of the PSE truck and talked to him for about 40 minutes. Myself and one of the PSE guys. He comes across as pretty damn straight forward to me. You call it ego... I call it confidence. The boy is really on the shy side. He's a great hunter, archer and paid his dues. He scraped and clawed for years a few months a year so he could persue his passion..... bow hunting. Now that he finally(well some time ago really) got to the top, people want to cut him down and nock him off the hill.

He goes places to hunt we all would like to but would never make the committment. He spends weeks in hostile, unforgiving country for the chance of a shot at a particular animal. You do NOT shoot the class of animals he has simply because you had a guide. Many of his animals have been hard to come by. He's not hunting in 50 acre patches, fences or big feed lot places.

Rip him all you want. I don't really think he cares. He doesn't hunt to please you. Those of you who are so quick to throw stones at the boys hunting should be half the hunter he is> I found him likeable, friendly, informative and a little on the quiet humble side.
