Re: Michael Waddell

Michael has posted in the forums before but his time is limited and it gets tough. He can be emailed at rtmail1@realtreeoutdoors but responses will take a while and sometimes if it is a question asked a lot there are standard replies sent back (just to help with the overload).

The lanyard's were something we had made for the employees and some of our licensed manufacturers a few years ago to use as badge holders at some trade shows. They are not available anywhere that I know of.

The calls Michael uses are Quaker Boy.

Thanks,

S

Re: Michael Waddell

Too few times William, Once to explain away why an injured scrub was passed on and another looking to hype a new show.

We are all busy as far as I am concerned. I hunted most every day this fall and winter as well as a couple of weeks in the spring! I got some time to post. There is no excuse in this wireless world why they can't be on more often. Are they above it all? I would certainly hope not. I appreciate Realtree for giving the hunter a forum to share their experience and swap lies. These hunters are the very same ones putting the food on the table and the loot in the coffers of the enterprise. You would think a little appreciation from those at the top would be a no brainer. Nice guys or not!

Re: Michael Waddell

I really don't understand the whole "What does Michael shoot?" or "I could die happy if I met Bill!" stuff. Seriously, they're just people! Using the same call as Michael or the same bow as David doesn't make you a better hunter in the least.

I also don't see how them coming to the forums regularly would make it a better place. I've seen what happens when Michael and David post here. There are about 100 posts titled "Hey Michael" and "Hey David" and all of them are posts saying "That was a great buck you took in Iowa" or "How do I get a job at Realtree?" and things of that sort. It adds nothing to the forum and they stick around for a week, but the posts begging for their attention drag on for a month. It's really more of a distraction that anything else. Tim Andrus has offered more to the forum than the other 3 combined!

Nothing at all against them, they live all of our dreams, they hunt for a living. But, I don't think they owe anything to anybody on this forum. It's not like we are just lining their pockets and getting nothing in return, we get our camo and the best videos on the market for our money.

Personally, I'd rather meet friends I've made through the forum, like Buckee, GWSmith and Tominator, more than Michael, David and Bill. JMO.

I didn't think you were being a jerk at all. I found your statement to be very sincere and lagitament. If it hurts must be it true....Just remember next time I want to be included in the FRIENDS list....

'Round these parts if you say anything possibly translated as anti-Michael you can be treated as a heretic sometimes.

*Note to self: VermontHunter is on friends list. Gotcha.

Re: Michael Waddell

Racksie, you just said what I've been dying to say for a long time.

I get so sick of Michael's arm guard (It's a frigging sock people!), the bobble heads, what bow does he use, etc. No disrespect to Michael, David, Bill, or any of the other RT big dogs. They are all awesome, but come on people ... they are in no way hunting gods. They are regular guys that found a way to make money doing what we all love to do. I respect them, but don't want to model my equipment or hunting style after them.

Be your own person for a change, people.

ncturkey, nothing is meant against you. I just get sick of this crap.

Mike ... I want to be like Mike ... whatever. Oh yea, that was some basketball player.
