and he'd be welcome as would anyone having a hard time. Guys the internet has a way of robbing humaness from posts. I honestly believe most of us would get along fine in hunting camp.

But I'd still not wear crocs.

You’re a good sport Dave. But I’m sure you wear crocs all the time but no one will ever see it.

Anyone that feels cheated and used can easily lash out at the wrong people. Especially when we share what should be private feelings and subject them to public scrutiny.

Bobby was awesome in camp. If we ever share camp again I guarantee the junk on here would be far from my mind. I still remember how grossed out he was about someone cleaning hogs without gloves on. It was just the biologist coming out in him but it seemed more like he was going to lose his lunch.
 
I did like his videos and his views on saddle hunting. I wish he was back on the site and as the saying goes time heals all wounds . I just wish that all the wounds were healed.

There was some bad blood when tethrd announced they were going to be producing a saddle. He felt that since aero hunter donated some saddles to the 2nd saddlepalooza that they were betrayed. Also, he felt that the mantis was a rip-off of the kestrel. The mantis was a pretty dramatic departure from the kestrel, and the kite had not been announced or hinted at. The consensus was pretty quickly made that Tethrd wasn’t a rip-off, and mentioning such didn’t go over well with him. He said some things I’m sure he regrets, and when people tried pointing out blatant differences between the systems in defense of the tethrd team, he reacted poorly as a double down on his previous comments. Threads were deleted, people had to be warned, several friends/family members of his jumped on with posts that definitely weren’t acceptable to the friendly attitude of the site, and he decided to leave.

It really is a shame because he had some great ideas, was definitely influential in the evolution of modern production saddles, and seemed to be a pretty nice guy when I met him at saddlepalooza.
Also, the saddle hype that resulted from the storm of Tethrd’s spectacular promotion DEFINITELY benefited Aerohunter. They went from a big fish in a small pond, to 50% of the market share in the fastest growing segment of the hunting market. So, I don’t think the bad blood was really worth it. The owners of Aerohunter seem to be really nice people and appear to have moved past it all pretty quickly, but we lost Bobby in the process.

All of this is just my opinion, of course, and is just my imperfect recollection from when it happened.

I was there too and got to hang out with Bobby for a while.
I really don't blame Bobby he just got swelled up for something he really believed in
I think I'm a pretty good judge of character and think Bobby is a top shelf kinda guy.
Very sad to not see him here even though I'm not here much either any more.

It was great sharing camp with bobby at Saddlepalooza. I missed all of the uproar apparently on here. I know he sure made an impact on saddle hunting before saddle hunting became cool thing to do. Not sure how many of ya were apart of the old Archery Talk treesaddle thread. He really got the saddle hunting community going with that thread. @Big Country even got a photo with the celebrity at saddlepalooza 2018!!
 
This reminds me of a couple gents that don’t frequent the hunting beast anymore due to differences that occurred. We need a site for the black sheep’s :sweatsmile:

It has been a weird season man. Haven’t prioritized the time correctly this season. I waited for specific conditions to hunt certain locations. I shot my personal best at 6 yards and couldn’t find him. I hope “OceanLife” is treating you well buddy.
