I don't know Ron, Rancid, or Innovative Outdoorsman ...although I do think I recall the last name a little... so what who is this dude? What he do?and how is he back on here?

    He is just a bowhunter (for nearly the last 50 years) Just an old dude that travels about the globe with bow in hand. He is passionate about the sport. Its his business and livelyhood. He is in the bowhunting business and he works for a few bowhunting companies to invent, design, prototype, life test and then field test bowhunting gear on live critters . His mission is to make bowhunters more lethal every time they enter the woods.

    He does a lot of product testing and evaluations in order to properly set up and recommend good bowhunting gear to other folks. He kills deer with a bow for a couple municipalities that supply him tags so he gets to further his testing on live critters allowing him to kill lots of deer and other species in the US and Africa (if covid doesnt limit travel). He gives back to the sport he loves which is why the post in the press release area of this forum was created. He partners with state and national bowhunting orgs to help fund them.

    In the last 3 seasons the live weight archery kill total stands at 8,200+ pounds of broadhead killed live test subjects. A guy that has learned a lot about bowhunting and gear and broadhead lethality. As such, he is outspoken about what actually works vs Marketing hype.

    Being outspoken (based on actual field testing) means he speaks his mind on what is good and bad and gives honest tellings of what works and what does not. This can have the effect of leaving some with bruised egos and knee jerk injuries. He is unapologetic about that. This can cause some to injure themselves further by running to an admin or moderator to complain.

    When he does upset some with comments, the triggered party will trot out a nearly decades old civil citation he got for feeding deer prior to the WI gun deer season. (you will be told it was a baiting violation but now you know better) When that doesnt work the triggered will manufacture and invent all manner of false claims about him. When even that doesnt work and he laughs, The triggered will stalk his every post. Its entertaining.

    When he posts that he went to Hawaii with a bow in hand to test some gear, the triggered will invent that he shot a cow. What he actually shot is a Vacouver bull (male of the species) . Something done by only a handful of bowhunters. But as city boys, they wont know the diff so to them everything is a cow. He laughs at them they get mad, they run to a mod.

    [​IMG]

    If he does shoot a cow with his bow, it might be a water buffalo.

    [​IMG]

    He shoots dinosaurs with his bow as well.

    [​IMG]

    When all the triggered have emptied their quiver of name calling, they will swing wildly and try in manufacture that he is a poacher despite no proof to the claim (they just say it and hope it to be so). They will lash out and claim that he is a high fence shooter and that all his kills are in tiny pens with animals on a leash and that he simply steps out of the safari jeep, shoots the animal and then the guides do the rest.

    Its entertaining to watch. I suggest you will get to witness the triggered, first hand. You will get to see exactly what was typed here, unfold before your eyes. For some of the triggered, he gets to live rent free between their ears. It consumes them. It enrages them. How he has such powers to control them is not understood. You would not expect adult men to act in such a manner and yet they do. Get ready.

    Its the dark origin back story. He asked, I thought it fitting to explain it to him. I can be a "Bad guy" to those with self inflated egos or the emotional sort. I dont mind educating those folks. But boy do they mind learing the lesson. :chewy:

    You also like to illegally bait deer as well.

    I see you still love to promote yourself, maybe you can start a "How to Illegally Bait Deer" thread then end it with how much of a fine you paid.

    Ok, so a Vancouver Bull is like a scrub bull in Australia. I believe they were once domestic farm animals brought to Hawaii then they just kind of became wild...so yeh, it's a cow just like a farm hog in the wild is a wild hog? :confused:

    Push all the BS aside, the dude has less than 1% humility and literally believes he's above nearly everyone. You think Jeff Sturgis is proud of himself, guarantee Rancid would run circles around Jeff in that category..

    Sad thing is he'd probably accept this as true.

    Well............ When Capt. Vancouver brought them over in the 17oo's they of course ran free into the jungle and became feral over those 300 years. They are a danger as they are aggressive. That is why 99.99% of people that hope to go in after them will use a firearm. Jim Shockey used the same outfitter I use but Jim use a Muzzle loader.

    No, I think they were a long time ago but they are managed like any other wild species on the islands. You have to go in after them. I bowhunted at 8000 feet. I was the first to take one with a bow there. I was the first this outfitter ever guided with a bow for a Vancouver. He did not mention that until hours before I arrived.

    You sound proud of your poaching endeavors.

    That alone negates every kill you have posted on this thread, whether they were legal or not, you are forever tarnished and a legend only within your own mind

    Great!. There was established in advance of my hunt, a waiting list of Natives that wanted the meat. Being that I flew from WI to Hawaii, The logistics of flying home the bull meat and the 2 Polynesian hogs I took did not make sense. The bull meat went to the locals. The poverty levels of the natives is pretty dam high and they cant afford beef. I stopped in a local store for provisions and looked at the meat case. Beef was $51 a pound then.

    One of the hogs I took was left with a local that helped us. He lived in a broken down greyhound bus at 7000 feet. He hugged me when I told him he could have the meat and skull (but that for another story)

    The other hog went to the outfitter

    Locals eat goats and chickens and pigs and fish. Beef is rarely on the menus and goes to the tourists instead. That is the first and only bowhunt I did that I did not eat the meat. Africa will be the other.

    I'm sure you'll be gone soon enough, Thanks for that :nana:

    Must be a pretty lonely man needing to create fake accounts on forums you were permanently banned from.
