Title: David up top!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Guru on January 11, 2009, 07:30:00 AM
What a great guy!! Here's a pic that better depicts his attitude and joyous nature...I was there the night he shot that doe...

....he was like a kid in a candy store! This from a guy that's killed more critters than most of here...he's a hunting machine! But I think he realized something about a simple stick and string that evening.....word is he's already bought a new bow and arrows     :scared:    

Hats off to one of the most entertaining fellas I've ever met....proud to call you my friend      :notworthy:   Enjoy your time in the spotlight!

Till next time buddy      :campfire:

Grat shot David. I bet more animals have been taken with Bear recurves than any other trad bow since they were introduced. Don

David is a hoot! After shooting against Ferret WYO at the target butts, he announced himself "Reserve Champion of the World" (second in a two man shoot out). He was like a kid at Christmas every time he took up that short Bear bow. Nice shooting on that doe and honored to meet you. Good Hunting Dave!

I've always said, David is worth the price of admission alone.  Team that up with his brother John, Robert, Gary, Peanut and Jim's cooking...and its really a steal.

Congrats David!  I was lucky enough to be down there last year to enjoy the the entire experience.  

I made one mistake though...after showing a couple of my knives to the guides.  Plus saying that I didn't sell any.  David said..."You want a Big Buck!"   Big Mistake not following that one up  :knothead:  Got the forge all heated up now though   :bigsmyl:  tippit
