Dude is still shooting 75lb draw with a 50% let off with fingers.

Very cool he's still doing it. Met him quite a few years ago. Great guy to talk with.

You're supposed to be working.

It's always amazing to see all that Chuck has done. Congrats to him on another fun kill!

 

[Dave N]

Just looked, he's 70 years old!!!!

I've grown to like Mr. Adams more and more over the years. When I was young I was a bit put off by someone who just shot "trophy" animals while I was just trying to fill the freezer. The more I've read his writing the more I appreciate his ability and passion.

I have the same feelings.

He’s been shooting with a release and more “modern” set up for a couple years. Regardless, he’s still inspiring

I'm supposed to be but for some reason I'm still on conference calls!

He’s on a whole different level than everyone else. Definitely one of the best of all time.

It always blows my mind when people have multiple world records. If you were to actively seek to get a world record with that being your sole purpose in hunting you still would most likely die a failure, never even having even seen one. Not for lack of trying, but for the scarcity of world record animals. Most people just luck into a world record when they get one, but to repeatedly accomplish this over the years across multiple species is truly unparalleled. And my favorite part is he does it without having to use every latest gadget, gizmo, state of the art clothing etc! Definitely the GOAT!

Thanks for posting this. I’ve always admired Chuck and his writing. The man dedicated his life to hunting.

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.

Not according to him.

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

I’m just going off what I’ve heard him say on recent podcasts as well as pictures on his website showing current production hoyt bows with string loops

 

[Southern Elk]

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 admire what he has done. I read "Super Slam" a few years ago and I think it gives some insight into his psyche and mentality. He is laser-focused and clearly has some amazing skills. As a teenager thirty years ago, Chuck was one of my hunting heroes. I could have done worse for people to admire.

I talked to him in a cafe years ago and that short conversation helped me start to fill tags. Like,many years ago.
" Play the wind,use all your senses". He could care less I was not a bow hunter.

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.
