you guys are just seeing the tip of the iceberg, too!

He's a true blue friend....he, and his wife Jill have gone out of their way to be of help to me in many ways..many times.

One of my all time favorite hunts was with the Bigster and Uncle Barry in Maine..where not a shot was fired...but the time and memories are priceless to me.

Thanks to Biggie I was able to go on Bear Quest II. I will always be grateful! Hope to shake his hand some day and say Thank You.

I am not surprised.  Biggie is a class act, with a heart much bigger than most.  Those of you who have never met the big guy in person, his hands are big as Lodge skillets.  Glad he has a good heart *^).

Things like this are why this place is "home" for me. I know it may sound cheesy, but this truly is much more than a website. Guys like Biggie make it that way.

People like him are what make this so great. A wise man said "be the miracle you wish to see". I'd say this a good example of how regular folks can do that.

Biggie, I can't say anything more than what has already been said, except "Thanks for making us all look good"!  You are who your friends are! I am very proud to know you!

Nicely done Biggie!!!  :thumbsup:    :thumbsup:
To me, the ultimate challenge in bowhunting is not how far away you can succesfully make a killing shot but rather how close you can get to the animal before shooting.

Do not follow where the path may lead.  Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail.

Never met the man but it sounds like I need to so I can shake his hand!  Never heard a bad thing about him either!
Luck has nothing to do with it, just Boot leather and a GWP.
