I know a lot of people are only familiar with Biggie through his posts on various bowhunting threads over the years. I wanted everyone to know this is the real Biggie Hoffman. His huge heart and generocity is why I've always considered him one of my all-time best friends. I'll tell you something else, Mike Mitten is the same way. There will be a great treestand in heaven someday for guys like this. Thanks from Uncle Barry.

A few years ago I asked Biggie (online in a email) a few questions about the PBS. Two days later I had a FedEx at my door. Biggie had overnighted a copy of the PBS magazine to my home.. Yeah, they don't get any better than Biggie...

I can't remember which St. Judes auction it was but I was bidding on 3 arrows that had been Glen St.Charles personal arrows that he had autographed and that he had made out of Sweetland Forgewood shafts.  I lost the bid on those 3 arrows to Biggie.  A couple of weeks later I got a package in the mail from him and it was one of the 3 arrows!  I will never forget that, thankyou again Biggie and I have almost finished repairing the damage to it that the postal service inflicted on it so I can display it. Not only as a wonderful peice of archery history but as an example of the generosity that should be emulated and is not often found anymore in the world.     :D    Joseph

I've had the pleasure to be on a couple of hunts with him and his generosity is real. We were fishing for lake trout up in Labrador during a caribou hunt. We had both finished our hunt so we got one of the guides to take us fishing. He was getting all the action and I, a long time fisherman, as well as a bowhunter, just couldn't get one of those fish to bite. As we trolled thru the "sweet spot" where they seemed to be lurking he got another hit and he handed me his rod. He wanted me to have the experience of landing one of those big fishes. Pretty cool!!!!
