Who Do You Miss?

The other thread prompted this............
Who used to provide content and valued perspective on this site that no longer does and you miss it. Maybe unfortunately they passed away, maybe they just faded away, possibly they gave up the sport, maybe they went up in a blaze of drama and were excommunicated, whatever.................. they ain't here no more.
Who is it that you believe would add more to the Bowsite experience in the area of Hunting, Shooting, Equipment, Hunt Reports, etc. but for whatever reason we have lost the benefit of their contribution.
Kindly don't turn this into a "Who I Wish Would Leave" thread. Start your own separate one if that is your interest.

Genejockey, Jim johnson, Tennbow, Catfish, Harley Rider, Joey Ward, DCM, Sewer Rat, Fearless, NvaGvUp, SteveCo, Rupe, Troy Green, StormRider, BB, Adios Pantalones, Amoebus, and Yendor are a few me and bluedog came up with a few days ago. Bad Karma and Mike in CT are two who still pop in occasionally, but I wish it was more frequent.

Kevin Dill and OTCWill for me - OTC still on rare occasions comments but nothing like in the past.
Bowriter, BigDan and Kelly Harris - if we count those who have passed away.

NVAGVUP. Good guy.

What Willieboat said.
Plus TBM. One year our sparring caused some Bowsiters to arrange an old man cage fight. We were going to do it when he came to MT to hunt. What nobody knew is that he pm'ed me asking if I would hunt with him. He just killed turkey #300 with a bow last week. Character.

25 year mostly lurker here. I did enjoy the Community Forum, not sure where it went....But Grey Ghost has a lot of those I miss reading. Gene Jockey loved debate and always enjoyed the threads he was involved with. NVAGive Up....what happened to him? I liked his dedication to fitness, his financial insights and overall personality. Rupe was always fun to read. DCM (RIP) was a friend of mine. Back when the LW had a lot of seldbow stuff, there was a guy named Mickey (I think)...he was super knowledgeable. Too Short was awesome....still see him post once in a blue moon. Joey Ward comes to mind. Ron LaClaire, BB...always loved their photos and stories.
This is a blast from the past to see these names again.

So many already named above. Many of which offered help, advise, input etc to me personally. Big Dan, BB, OTC Will, TBM (what a character), City Hunter, Ace Of Spades (been several years since I saw him post), Blacktail Bob, Idyllwild Archer, Serbian Shark, and the list goes on. I know a few of these guys still post on occasion but very infrequent and several I’m forgetting.

Yep, good people, all of 'em. Don't even know how many of 'em are still breathing. Even miss Bill McNeil, although he went off the rails a bit before he was (deservedly) asked to leave.

Kelly Harris. He made amazing threads! I have some on the local page I miss too, but on the main page, he stands out to me.
From: APauls

Big Dan immediately came to mind. Seeing the names city hunter and bigpizzaman I'd have to agree. In his final days I found bowriter quite annoying but didn't think that really reflected who he was. He was also very good for bringing up interesting bowhunting topics that many don't think about immediately.
I really miss OTCWill doesn't seem to be on here anymore.

Say what you will about TBM - atleast his threads were about hunting. Everyone covered most of them above. Kelly, BB, NvaGvUp, BigPizzaMan, OTCWill, Kevin Dill’s moose story is still my favorite thread of all time, I forgot the handle of the guy that would always post gear reviews… he still posts on here but not near what he used to if I remember correctly.

What drycreek said including those he mentioned. I miss the banter that TBM caused with his posts. I do understand from those that actually know him that he is a good guy and outstanding hunter. cityhunter had an unique hunting background and posting ability. I miss others that no longer share their wit here mixed in with their bowhunting ventures. Wit is something that I also appreciate from those that are still posting regularly. Some of you guys (I won't mention any names as you probably can guess) can be very clever.

Spike, BPM is still around and hunting as much as ever. He’s one of the ones that got tired of the same stuff plenty others have gotten tired of and have left. Looks every now and then, but never posts anymore.

I missed most of the thread honestly. I'm semi-boycotting the site just checking in on my boots thread and Ken's 30 years occasionally. Timex chose a more flamboyant exit

Fuzzy. Resurrect Timex and take him to Africa with you. What an adventure that would be !! Might even get him reinstated on the forums. He needs the Bowsite for his sanity

In order. Big Dan Always willing to give advice BB Great stories and photos Serb Fun guy Cityhunter “ Lou” Classy DIY hunter
There was one more, I think his handle was NJbob or something like that. He finally went on his goat hunt, and connected. Came home and passed a short while afterwards.
There are a few more that still lurk that I keep in touch with. Miss them also.

“HamBlaster” and Big Dan
From: csalem

GG I’m glad some people disagreed with you and took a screen shot of the conversation. Only because when someone says it wasn’t that bad there is evidence to prove otherwise.
Timex did it to himself and possible learned a small lesson in how being unfiltered, although fun at times, serves no useful purpose and is not a badge of honor. The mantra of respect being a two way street in Timex world also turned out to not be a real thing in his daily life.
Maybe if old Timex gets a second chance he will have matured some

Medicine Man and Blacktailbob.
Jake was my introduction to bowsite, we shared hunting camp together back in 2008. Always enjoyed following along on his hunts while he was chasing his SS. Top notch guy!!!
And BB seems to be as much of a time tested die hard bowhunter as any out there that would tell you like it was. A wealth of knowledge between the two of them.

Timex must have been banned for being honest?! These days honesty and integrity are considered poor traits.
Wrong decision in my opinion! Banning = BS!

From: Thornton
25-Apr-24
After Timex posted that thread 'Pic of Your Face', I realized everyone that ever gave me flak on here was an old, pissed off guy that felt threatened. Kind of lightened me up after that. Too bad he had to go that route though. That kind of language is disgusting. I had noticed he seemed bored and was making up new threads daily.

I miss my buddy Bretto. We used to shoot together all the local shoots and were good friends. We would get talking and time would get away from us. We lost him the a rare blood cancer several years ago. I had two friends that did concrete work and both passed away from the same blood cancer.
