As a matter of fact the secret service's code name for Paul Ryan was 'bowhunter'.. I thought that was pretty cool when heard that a few years ago

Paul Ryan for sure is a bow hunter. I was a bass pro and had my sunglasses on and was at a sale rack. I looked up and thought I recognized him , took my shades off and sure enough it was him. I introduced myself and asked why he wasn't spending his money in Wisconsin rather than Illinois, he laughed. We BS'd for about 5 mins or so about bowhunting and he could not of been nicer. He was also written up in I believe time where they showed him with his Matthews bow.
"Rumor has it that Bret Favre used to skip practice to go bowhunting during the rut."
I can believe that....
Not common knowledge but Barry Bonds has bowhunted more than most realize. I once worked with one of his family members and he showed me lots of kill pictures.

Joe Rogan is a big bow hunter.
I don’t know if he hunts but my friend crested arrows for Nolan Ryan a couple of times.
I believe there was an article on here years ago about Eva Longoria being a bowhunter.
I guess it depends on what you call a “celebrity” Half the people mentioned I never heard of .
It's funny you should mention Dickey Betts, Meatgrinder Scooter Trash is here hunting with us, and this morning he showed us a custom made Byron Ferguson bow that was built for Dickey. It has a signed guitar pick inflated in it. I'll have to see if I can get him to post a pic of it to this thread. I had no idea Dickey was a bowhunter, let alone a traditionalist.

Doubt Miranda still hunts, she did it when married to Blake Shelton, but I dont' think she still does. Cant see Taylor Swift as a hunter.
Carson Wentz Eagles QB bowhunts. In fact he was wearing a Hoyt cap in an interview a day or so ago.
Can't believe Neil Young either, he's too much left wing whacko...
Yeah, seen a thing on Carson Wentz, he killed a buck during their bye week a couple years ago, and bought his offensive linemen shotguns for Christmas... Cool dude...
Yeah RutnStrut, just seen Wentz interview with the Hoyt hat on...
Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Tom Brokaw (upland), Jay Novacek (Dallas Cowboys, retired), Michael Strahan (turkey), Steve Tasker (Bills, retired), Adam Vinatieri (Patriots/Colts)
Zbone, I'm with you on the Neil Young claim. I mean, take a look at the GREEN wench he married last year. Bowhunter ? I think not.
Shaq is a big time hunter. Dont think he bowhunts thpigh
I would say Taylor Swift is a better bow hunter than Neil Young.
You guys actually serious about Taylor Swift hunting, nothing on the internet...
I would love to share a deer camp with Dickey Betts, He is one of my all-time favorite guitar players. Would love to here some stories of touring with the ABB!
Karl Malone hunts with a rifle. Greg Ostertaag killed a nice moose a friend mounted with a custom made 35" draw length bow.
Tradman/Dikndirt,
I heard about Dickey Betts being a bowhunter from a fellow I worked with back in the mid-90's named Bill Johnson. Bill told me he used to tour with the Allman Brothers Band as a guitarist. I had no reason not to believe him. He told me that Dickey Betts would take his bow on tour, and once while the band was in a hotel passing time between shows, Dickey shot an arrow down the hallway into a door leading to a stairwell. He said the arrow hit the door just a second or so before a security guard opened the door from the other side. So yes, I think Dickey Betts might have some stories to tell.
Walter Payton? I thought some sobbing snowflake shot him?!
Braun Stroman of the WWE. DANNY
Bo Jackson,,,, great hunter and sportsman,,,,
