Title: Monty Browning (what's he doing these days?
Post by: Rich LaBombard on May 10, 2007, 07:55:00 AM
I was flipping through some older Trad Bowhunter mags, and came across articles by Monty Browning.
(a great cape buff story, and others)

I don't recall seeing anything new from him.  Anyone know what he is doing these days?
(I did a search, didn't see much)
Thanks,
Rich

I saw Monty last month at the Appling Bowhunter Festival.  He and his wife own a travel agency in Clemson, SC.  I heard that he has a tract of land in Georgia and has built or is building on it.  He is a super nice guy.

Yep, my 3 kids got to hike, shoot and talk with Monty at the Appling Archery Festival in GA, and listen to some great stories from him.  The man sure can tell a story - he told the gathering the Alaska Solitude 2 story.  Wish I could see and hear him again over the Memorial Day shoot near Hickory, NC but we have other plans.  What a bowhunter!

One of the best speakers/storytellers I have ever heard. A true gentleman, also.

I met Monty at the Iowa Bowhunters Banquet in March, he was our guest speaker.

Enjoyed his time on stage.

His article in TBM about a year ago, Alaska Solitude 2, was one of my all time favorite hunting articles.  He's definitely one of the great guys in traditional bowhunting.

I heard something about him working on a book here on tradgang.  That would surely be a great one, wouldn't it?

You should go by his wife's travel agency in Clemson! She has a lot of his trophies in the front window.  I've gone in a couple of times just to look. Simply awesome!

He says he is actually learning how to type on a computer so that he can work on the book!
