The story goes---Chuck parachuted in from 20,000 feet, and actually shot the bull from 50 feet in the air, still falling with his parachute, as the bull was running 10mph!

I like them all. They are real people doing something most people outside our small little world know nothing or care nothing about. So what if they promote some stuff. It helpspays their bills also. Its all for our sport. Lets keep supporting them cause we are the only ones who do. Not the antis thats for sure!!!

Not according to the picture in Bowhunting World this month. Still using a tab.
Then again, he was also probably promoting a product he's never used and shooting it at an animal he knows nothing about.

I know this is going to be a tough question for you but if you were to pick one hunt as your most memorable, which one would that be?
Well that is a tough question. Every hunt for me is memorable for one reason or another. But I think it would be the hunt for my current world record typical Yellowstone elk with Pope & Young.
I saw that elk the year before I actually got that elk. I had already shot my elk in Montana and was mule deer hunting. It was four days after I had shot my elk that I saw the huge bull and watched it for couple of hours in a very approachable spot. But I had no tag in my pocket. So I thought about that elk everyday and every night for a year and went back there in the year 2000 - with high hopes and a lot of trepidation that I would never see him again.
But I did find him. My guide and I found that elk the first day we looked for him - in the same dark canyon a long way from the road. Like a lot of bull elk, he had come back to the same area to rut even though he wasn’t local. We covered a lot of ground and found him a couple of times before I finally shot him. That was really memorable because of all the thinking I did about that bull the year before I actually got it - and

the fact that he is just an immense animal. I believe he was bigger the year before I got him than he was in 2000. He was a big 7” x 7” in 1999 and he was a 6” x 7” when he was shot. He looked very much the same - I mean there was no question - he was the same elk. I think the drought in 2000 had probably made his antlers just a little bit smaller. But it's still the 14th largest elk ever shot on record in North America with bow or gun and the current world record with Pope and Young for the typical Yellowstone category. It's also the world record for Safari Club International with bow and gun. So it’s an awesome animal and it was just an awesome hunt.

ON a Chuck Adams related note:
I just got finished reading "Life at Full Draw"
Interesting read and should probably be mandatory for anyone quick to judge Chuck based on heresay or rumors.

I don't know how many of you watch Nascar, but there is a similar debate going on there. Older drivers are being replaced with younger more marketable ones. Why?... The potential for the next big thing. The fact of the matter is people watch Lee and Tiffany, and they are the next big thing. Whether they are the greatest hunters or not isn't the issue to sponsors. They are likeable people, who have done what everyone of us wishes we could. Own lots of land to hunt, and get paid to do what we love. I guess it all really comes down to what makes someone a great hunter?

I've read full draw and you will learn a lot about Chuck from it. He's not a flash in the pan type of guy. He's not a TV star either. He's just a hunter doing it his way. He never takes film crews because they screw up a good hunt.

Never was much on Cliques or people who deemed it necessary to be in one.
