OL: What bow and arrow setup do you use?
CA: I still shoot a compound bow with my fingers, not a release. I just enjoy it more. I feel like my brain is connected to the arrow. If I do say so, I’m a pretty good shot with my fingers and I really don’t need the extra paraphernalia to take animals. Due to the short axle-to-axle designs and high let-off of most contemporary compounds, I’m somewhat restricted for shooting with my fingers. I shoot a custom Hoyt with a 75-pound draw weight and 50 percent let-off. I also like heavy arrows. This year I was hunting with Easton XX78 arrows that weigh over 600 grains part of the time, and Full Metal Jacket arrows part of the time that weigh about 500 grains. I use the G5 Striker and Striker V2, I really like those replaceable-blade 3-blade broadheads. It just works for me.

The guy is 70 years old and still kicking our asses. I met him back in 1994, he sounds and acts the exact same now as then.

 

[RCL]

Simply awesome.

 

[TxxAgg]

Very cool

And he did it packed in solo. No worries for this guy unlike all those scaredy cats in the solo thread awhile back

OL: And what is it about backpack hunting for Sitka blacktails on Kodiak that you love so much?
CA: One, as we just talked about it, it’s a great way to hunt in the summer.

OL: You prefer to hunt Kodiak with a buddy, but that didn’t work out this year. So you just went solo?
CA: Yes, and it wasn’t the first time I’ve done that. I set up a base camp, then will pack anywhere from 10 to 15 miles per day looking for deer.

Still has that stocking cap! What an inspiration.

The guy is ageless.

 

[Antares]

Daaang! I’d love to see a picture from the field.

Sorry Allen, that didn’t last long.

Still getting it done at age 70 in faded cotton realtree, bean boots, and, of course, a green beanie... solo, on Kodiak! I'm impressed.

 

[FLATHEAD]

Heck yeah!!! Good to see Chuck still getting it done.
Was one of my heroes back in the 80's.

Chuck has always been my inspiration!
