I understand the question. Of course I will have no gods before Him.
But, the top 3 most impressive trad hunters that come to mind for me are people I've met and hunted with.
1. Fred Eichler
2. Joe Lacefield (biologist peer in KY).
3. Jim Hart (when he hunted trad) in Lafayette, IN.
If I considered those I haven't met:
- Fred Bear
- Rick Duggan (1st trad-only Super Slam)
- Bob Swinehart
-
There is only one true God.
People that have brought much to our sport IMHO.
Fred Bear - who pioneered the modern Bowhunter
G Fred Asbell - who brought it all back single handedly from the verge of technology
Roger Rothhaar/ Gene Wensel (tie) - for bringing light to the Whitetail world
-
My trad heroes (not gods) are:
Fred Bear
Ben Pearson
Howard Hill
-
Not gods, but men who I have met and admire as Trad Bowhunters in no particular order.
G Fred Asbell
Marv Clynke
Monte Browning
-
Fred Bear, and the Wensels.
-
Not much for the word 'gods' either. That just don't sit right with me.
Hero's sure....
Howard Hill, the Wensel Brothers, and Charlie Lamb.
-
Hero's or Legends; Men whose accomplishments I admire.
Paul Schafer
Roger Rothhaar/Gene and Barry Wensel
Mike Mitten
These are the ones I grew up with, as well as G. Fred. Several others whose writings I have come to respect and enjoy.

Friend of mine, newer shooter, recently subscribed and was pleasantly surprised at how good the magazine is.
I've never seen it and the only imagine I get is the one from the NRA. He said this is much better than most outdoor magazines though.
May have to see if I can find a single copy somewhere and take a look.
-
I apologize if some took the word Gods as an insult to the one God, by no means was I trying to be disrespectful to anyone's beliefs. I'm from NYC and we can be a bit rough around the edges with our use of the Kings English. Admins please feel free to remove this thread if needed.

Fun thread, but… I can’t do just three. There are after all at least two Wensel brothers that we know of and I can’t have a list without Jim Doughtery on it as well. There are also many lesser known regional guys like Dan Quillian, Roscoe Reams and Robert Carter who have made many contributions. So I am gonna just sit back and enjoy the show. :thumbsup:
-
PrimitivePete, I'll be in NYC next week. May be need to chat....
-
Be careful Terry, it's a whole new world going on here, and it's not pretty
-
Yeah, I know... not like it was 4 years ago when I used to feel safer there than Atlanta....but it is what it is.
Most of my time will be in North west Bronx/ Inwood area.
-
3 No-Name Indians.
-
Like the edit. :thumbsup:
I'm not much for idolizing folks I've not gotten to at least shared a campfire with, or gotten schooled by, or . . . These three men have proven themselves to be worthy of not only admiration as archers, hunters and mentors but as quality human beings who love The Lord and live life showing it.

Tough call, not into hero worship, though I did have a couple of old friends who have passed on that I admired.
-
Hard to narrow it to three so its four for me and hard to narrow it to that..
Living would be
Mike Mitten
Bryan Burkhardt
Darryl Quidort
Monty Browning
These four are all men of incredible ability, talent, drive and character. As well as the love of the adventure.
Passed would be
Jay Massey
Bart Schleyer
Jim Hamm
Roger Rothaar
These men were great hunters and had amazing ability to build equipment.
Both lists could be added to by several men that I have known over the years. Walt Francis, Mark Baker, Paul Bruner, Glenn St Charles, Ed Scott.

Two I've read about and one I've met in person:
1. G. Fred Asbell: His book "Instinctive Shooting" was foundational to me when I was a young bowhunter.
2. Ishi: Fascinating story of survival set in a world before all the modern trappings.
3. Glenn St. Charles: I was lucky to meet him at his shop in Seattle when I was a young bowhunter. He spent time with me, talking story and sharing his hunting adventures. Before I left, he gifted me a signed copy of his book, "Bows on the Little Delta."
-
I cannot elevate some over the rest. In more recent times I think Ron LaClair, Paul Brunner and G Fred have been positive influencers. .
-
Jim Hamm
Ron LaClare
Jay Massey
-
Fred Bear -- A genius inventor and innovator who was an ambassador for archery and bow hunting.
Ron Laclair -- Another ambassador for the sport. Without him, we might not have the modern, short longbow. His development of the Shrew has been legendary.
Terry Green -- His love of the sport brings us Trad Gang, the best traditional archery and bowhunting gathering place on the internet.
-
Lets see...Yes, in the book of Revelation Jesus is described riding a white horse with a bow in his hand. Def. Number 1
King David's friend Johnathan is mentioned as being quite good with his bow as well. No. 2
Number 3 ??? Me? I am a legend in my own mind!
Kind of like going fishing with only three lures. So many admirable and influential archers over the years.

If I could add another; the old man who lived in a cave back up on Paddy Mountain, who made his own bow, strings, arrows out of fiberglas shafts and broadheads. Used to come to town once a year or so, for flour and salt. Looked like a mountain man and I guess he was. Cica 1970. Think about him from time to time.

Just to be different:
Little John (earliest ballads imply he was the best bowman in the gang)
John MacAndrew of Dalnhatnich, aka Ian Beg MacAindrea (look it up)
Ron LaClair (there’s a story behind that)
