chuck adams

if pope and young kills count , he is the BEST, cant find any info on his family, does he have a wife and kids ???

Why, you interested? 😆

maybe you can apply for the position.....

Dont hear much from old chuck no more…he gotta be about 70 or 80 now

Didnt he get divorced too?

for bham fred,and shaw, first let me assure you two that I have the upmost respect for CHUCK ADMAS, apparently he is the best bow hunter in the world ,he has 200 animals listed in the pope and young record books, more than any bow hunter in world !!! both of you had "smart" remarks about my question about chucks family. and I don't know why?? nether one of you are any where near as famous as chuck. but I know about you , SHAW, you have a nice family, ive seen them on aldeer, FRED, I know you have a nice family, heard you talk about your grand son getting you bows, our families are special gifts from GOD, so please tell me why you got bent-out when I ask about CHUCKS family ?

It was a joke. Lighten up. 🤦🏻‍♂️ Personally, I believe Fred Bear was a better bowhunter.

That’s right…even gave him a smiley face to remove any doubt.

Uncle Ted never wrote a song about Chuck Adams. >>>————>>

Dern, you got bent slap out the frame…they wuz kiddin…also chuck an fred kilt all kinds of stuff..good killers with the funds to go and do….freds early days were very impressive as he slayed with as stick and strang often...chuck adams camo always matched..i remember that about him…niether one was close to the best..to me..thats my oppinion. I can think of a handful of folks that aint ever left their home state an hunted nothin but deer an turkeys...but they could kill a martian on mars.

I talked with Chuck for about 30 minutes at the deer hunting exhibition in Birmingham one year. Super nice guy. We talked like we were old friends. I think I taught him a lot in that short conversation. 😁

Ole Chuck I think used the old Satelite broad heads

I got to talk to him once and was a great guy. I’ve got a poster he signed and handed to me that day.

Wow. That’s a name I haven’t thought about in a few decades. When I first got interested in bow hunting, I read several of his books. I think I still have buried under some stuff at the office. That guy was awesome. Always wore that little knit hat...

Dr. B

Tom Miranda has had "decent" success globally.......

He's either 70 or 71 years old.

I think miles Keller ranks up there...

Drunk driving and killing a 7yr old pretty much tarnished his legacy. Amazing bowhunter and woodsman though. He knew how to find and kill those great big’uns!

Chuck is a very very focused hunter. He wasn’t a lot of fun to be around at camp during hunts. Not that he was a prick but he treated hunting more like a job than a hobby. If your full time job was hunting and that’s all you did, and you had the financial backing, you would be shocked what you could do. As all seasoned hunters know, killing book animals starts with hunting where they live! Chuck only hunted where there was trophy animals. He didn’t waste time hunting for fun. It was all business. But yes, he was very successful at his hunting career.

If you remember, he had a little bit of a spat with Dr. Warren Strickland over fixed blade vs expandable. Chuck drew a line in the sand on using fixed heads and Warren was aggressively promoting the use of expandables. Eventually Chuck threw in the towel and switched to expandable broadheads too.

Yes, he was good. I remember trying one of the pendulum sights he promoted. I never did like that thing. I went back to one of the old K-T bead sights and gave the pendulum to a friend.

That old Keller pendulum sight sounded like you were beating a bucket of loose bolts up against a tree when you shot.

Killed 30+ using one

I used a Keller for several years and never missed or lost a deer.

Fred bear first bow I had was his whitetail

I got a bear whitetall in 1982. Still have it.

Same here.

I still have my Bear Whitetail Hunter from about 1982. Still have my dads that was a little older also.

Unfortunates mine was given to an unappriative kid 🤡 me

Hell i thought TK and Mike were the best until I was probably 8 or 9 haha

I remember Chuck always had him a quiver Full of arrows in his pics. Like 8 or so

Chuck definetly wasn't one whose camo always matched. Maybe in later years when he had gained some recognition and sponsorships. If you were following his writings in the 70's, early 80's as I was, most of his warm weather hunts were done in plaid shirts and blue jeans. He wrote many times about camo not being necessary. Also He wrote many times in his early career about preferring to use a guide or outfitter only when the law required it. He also didn't come from wealth and I don't think he ever got really wealthy. I don't think you get rich from freelance archery hunting stories sold to magazines and a couple books that couldn't of sold that many copies to the small number of archers around in his heyday. As far as comparing Chuck and Fred To Qoute Jim Daugherty then President of North American Archery Group " I am not going to compare him to Fred Bear, they are totally different people. Fred was a pioneer in rekindling interest in archery in America but there is no doubt Chuck Adams is the most recognizable figure in Bowhunting today." I think that probably stands true today even though it was said over 25years ago. Pick up a copy of Life at Full Draw and read it sometime. You just might gain a little respect for the man.
