Good old days of TBH

[Brute Killer]

I think I registered in '03.

[Tallcowgrl]

i need to see this javi kicking video!

I was thinking the same thing! Hearing a lot about it

[JVasquez]

I landed around 2000. I was always interested in Breck Nolens post and his hog hunts at night. Remember a video of a 60yd shot on a doe he posted as well.

[deer_hoyter]

Been on here since 02' or 03', never did get a VE and was disappointed when I lost my post count with the big crash.

[Tuffbroadhead]

omg that is hilarious^^^^^

[Heath]

OR how about when HEATH went off on the women of TBH and told them TBH was no place for women..LOL!!

This is incorrect. I said I don't think TBH should have to change just for a couple of women that posted. If they wanted to join the campfire that was fine, but I didn't think that everyone should change the way we posted just for a couple of women that were on the site. Just to clarify, because I love women.

I've been here since late '04 and Cull is to blame.

~The Definition of a VE~

The VE or Velvet Elvis is Bowhunting’s highest honor. The inspiration for the award came from a velvet antlered buck affectionately known as “Elvis” that was repeatedly photographed by Breck “Deerslayer” Nolen in his backyard. As far as any of us know, Elvis was never harvested and like his namesake, he may still be alive. For historical record, the idea first emerged on this sacred board on July 6th, 2002 on or about 1:42PM.

In order to merit the award one must achieve the following:

1. Take a game animal or predator using archery tackle.
2. Take a tasteful (hopefully) LDP or “layin’ down pic” of the animal or bird (exotics count, but please no raccoons, armadillos, skunks or horny toads!).
3. Register and share the story on the internet’s premier bowhunting discussion board, Texasbowhunter.com.
4. Share the story in a timely fashion (last year’s harvests are not eligible).
5. Story must come from the actual hunter (with occasional exceptions for kids)
6. Story must be nominated for the award three times by ANY registered user of the FSOG (Fabled Screen of Green).
7. ANY registered user is qualified to bestow the award but it is recommended that you watch a few “veterans” do it before you dive in.

{Q&A}

Q: Is there a monetary or physical award?

A: No, you already have your award, hopefully it is on the way to a qualified taxidermist.

Q: Why should I care about a dumb ol’ semi fictitious award?

A: This is Texas, it’s just plain good manners.

Q: What if I think I deserve an award but I have not got one yet?

A: Chances are you are short a nomination that should be forthcoming or you may have not met all the criteria (please review).

Q: Is the award exclusive?

A: It is exclusive in that it only applies to archery.

Q: If I don’t get a VE right away does that mean I’m not part of some secret society or clique?

A: No, Elvis thrives on heaping praise on the good people who comprise the ever-expanding universe of Texasbowhunter.com but this is a big site. Just like with bowhunting, patience is a virtue.

Q: I live on a ranch that is blessed with tons of game. Should I go on a killin’ spree to make myself look like an accomplished hunter on the Internet?

A: Uh… no.

Note: The VE Award Staff reserves the right to amend or make exceptions to the rules at any time.

[AtTheWall]

BigL told me about TBH back in 2000. I just retired from the US Coast Guard, moved to Austin and joined him working at a Day Trading .com firm that had boo-koo Internet capacity. I lurked for about a year or so.....didn't have time to post or do much of anything else during that time, we moved the company from Downtown Austin to a new building in Wild Basin canyon...after the smoke cleared from that brew-haha....I joined as ROB. I posted probably about a year as Rob before changing my name to ATW. The first thread I posted to was a DoggieBonz® thread.....then a BayouBoy thread and the rest became history!

[AtTheWall]

Deerslayer was a VE machine!

I remember many of those first few VE's.....Archery1st went on a hog killing rampage at Area59 when we all shared a lease with Krivoman, Shawn and Richard (Elkhunter...or some other name centric with Elk).

I posted a thread with a 212 inch buck near Freer...shot by Wascom(sp?) and posted it as a bowkill here.....THE CROWD WENT WILD LOL!!!! Krivoman put me up to it and man what an uproar that was!

Q: I live on a ranch that is blessed with tons of game. Should I go on a killin’ spree to make myself look like an accomplished hunter on the Internet?

A: Uh… no.

Shurley and I did that one year....put 27 kills up on a season video recap LOL!

[BIG D]

I remember after I joined I couldnt wait to kill something just to see if I could earn a VE.
