Chuck has another...

[Irrelevant]

I’m assuming he’s hunting the private on the lease as well as the landlocked public his lease gives access to. I just find it to be a dubious characterization.

I'll agree with the private, but we all know someone else that made a big deal of hunting "land-locked" public.

And the someone else is open with the fact that it’s land-locked public. The other is not.

 

[JLS]

as in he's hunting private or land locked public?

Yes

I think it was a full section of DNR ground. If the photo was rotated about 20-30 degrees at the time you could have seen the stacks in the background.

I always figured those breaks bulls were on private, but I never heard confirmation on that. If I remember correctly, he had at least 2 that were over 400”.

I mule deer hunted the ranch he's hunted on outside of Colstrip a couple years ago, the only people who to get hunt elk on 87,000 acres are the help on the ranch and Chuck Adams. We saw some giant bulls.

Would be so awesome to meet
Mr. Adam’s, probably the person I looked up to the most as a young hunter reading hunting magazines in the 80’s and 90’s!

Met him once YEARS ago at a sport show in Portland. He was sitting by himself (doors had just opened up) at the Hoyt booth surrounded by a large number of impressive mounts/horn.
I made the comment that Hoyt must have had those shipped in from all over hell and gone and he just said “nope, I’ve loaned them out for the show!”

I did hear on a pod cast once when he was asked about “trophy hunting” and one comment he made was that, if after all these years, he just wanted to “fill tags” he’d having a very short hunting season. I didn’t think he was being cocky in the way he stated it, just someone sure of his abilities

Love or hate him, I think we can all agree that his "influencer" level is what we all would like to see more of and less of the flat-brimmed Dbags.

My only qualms with the guy is that he claims his Montana hunts are public land when it’s behind a leased up ranch.

Heck of a hunter though.

You don't kill 400 inch bulls unless you know what you are doing. Public or private. mtmuley

X1000!

400-inch bulls are not necessarily any harder to kill than 300-inch bulls. You just have to hunt where they exist. They may actually be the same age. I know a guy that killed a 400 inch bull that previously had only killed a calf and a spike. Not saying that Chuck isn't at the top of the game, but a quality lease can make a boner look like a pro.

I didn't know it was that easy. mtmuley

The sun shines on a dog’s ass every once in a while, but Chuck has done it again and again with multiple species. He’s one of the best. Read Super Slam if you don’t think so.

 

[WildWill]

Did a book report in high school on Super Slam love that book. Private or public even at 70 he'd out hunt most of us.

 

[EKYHunter]

Much respect for Mr. Adams.

I remember reading bowhunters digest as kid. He along with some other bwhunting writers were quite the inspiration for me. Is he perfect? No. But I think all in all he is one of the good guys out there.
