I have had the pleasure of meeting Chuck Adams a couple of times at some of the ATA shows. Out of those times he has been very nice, was willing to talk about anything, was friendly and always had a smile on his face. I am glad I got to talk to him & meet him, I got his autograph in his new book which I really enjoyed. Thats my experience with the man.

If you have really read very much about him you will learn that he likes to hunt by himself most of the time & he usually only hires a guide when it is needed accourding to game laws. Most of his large elk have come from public land as well as his bison. The man is a great bowhunter and what he has done is unreal. My hats off to him, he's the real deal in my opinion. I would say he does hunt with various guides, I know he is good friends with Phil Philips so I am sure that he hunts with him! I won't knock the guy for hunting with a friend that happens to be a guide to pay the bills. I am sure he knows others really well too.

I may not always agree with his opinions in equipment selection but I would never but him down for his choice in equipment or his success. I think in truth a lot of people are jealous of him & what he has done so they have to find a way to put him down. Does he have an ego? I am sure he does, he has had great success.
