I’d have to go with Bisch! He hunts using my brain and eyes and my hands and my bows! I get way more fulfillment out of me being in the woods rather than watching someone else out there doing it instead!!!!!

Now there's an answer I didn't expect, but I like it :biglaugh:
Put "Lex" in there instead of "Bisch", and I don't think I'd have any real problem with it.
I do like to watch stuff from the Wensel brothers though, good fun, good ethics, and I usually learn something very useful.

Well, I can’t tell you when the last time I watched a hunting show was, and I don’t do fb,Instagram, or Twitter, so I couldn’t even tell you who the newer “celebrity “ hunters are! I am just a guy who likes to bowhunt more than just about anything else. There isn’t many things that get me more excited than seeing my fletching disappear into some critter I just shot at in just the right place!!!!

Any of my Shrewhaven buddies. These guys are not just there to help in camp or the woods but they’re there everyday in life if you need it. Some of us started barely knowing each other but now they’re like brothers.

But how can my favorite bow hunter not be the guy that introduced me to bowhunting, gave me my first real hunting bow, and took me along on countless bow hunts. It has to be my dad. Reuben Savaloja. He had such a passion for hunting and certainly passed that on to me.

That said, I learn from all kinds of hunters including those who don't bowhunt because I simply love the great outdoors and getting into nature. I read and learn from a lot of the great bowhunters like Bear, the Wensels, Hill, etc. I also read about Teddy Roosevelt's hunts, studies from Game and Fish research, conservation based stuff, field guides, listen to Joseph Von Benedikt, and other notable hunts/hunters. I also share in the struggles and joys of local hunters, especially children of my buddies who need a little encouragement in the field. It's much more about a lifestyle than just being a fanboy of a certain person.

His short videos and reading of his journal notes have been what’s led to more success in the woods at least for me.
And I would second Robert Carter who use to post on here pretty regularly. He always struck me as the salt of the earth kinda guy :thumbsup:
And my good friend Corey Bailey must be mentioned he’s a getter done type of guy whether at 3D’d or in his hunting.
I believe both he and RC were also influenced by Mr. Warren.

I have been fortunate to have hunted with Terry a bunch and his archery, bowhunting, and woodscrafts skills are second to none.
Plus, Terry's just an all around good ol' fun boy to boot! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :campfire:

Tom is also a bow hunting historian. Ask him any question about a well known bow hunter and he'll give you the answer without looking it up from his notes, it's locked in his autobiographical memory.
Tom is responsible for putting together a hard cover book on the first 60 years of Michigans bowhunting history. A truly remarkable book that will enlighten many future bowhunters how bowhunting was started by Fred Bear and others in michigan.
I have hunted with Tom and his father Tom Sr. in upper michigan for many years and I can say without a doubt that Tom is the best tracker and woodsman that has been my pleasure of knowing and hunting with.
Tom is not a well known bowhunter but that is the way he wants it but to his friends and those who know him and have hunted with him Tom is at the top of their list....he certainly is at the top of mine.

My favorite bowhunter is Tom Jenkins, better known as " Rooster" Tom exemplifies what a bowhunter really is. He has no other hobbies or interest other than bow hunting. No matter the season or the animal he is hunting, his weapon of choice is his recurve bow.

I second that nomination. Tom is the epitome of what Michigan bowhunting is all about. I have learned 90% of what I know about bloodtrailing deer by watching and listening to Tom. I actually named my Black Widow recurve "Rooster" in his honor.
Sitting with Tom in camp at ShrewHaven and just LISTENING is an absolute honor.
And only Tom and few guys will know....when you find a set of stairs in the swamp...climb 'em :biglaugh:
