I watched the Bo Jackson 30 for 30 on espn. I had no Idea he was such an avid hunter and archer. They showed his impressive trophy room that included buffalo, elk, and numerous large white tail.

it was interesting to hear him say(despite all his athletic accomplishments)that the room with all his animal mounts was his "real trophy room."

the show showed much more, but here are a couple images from a quick google search

Watched it. Bo's a bad mofo. Much respect. He was the Achilles of his age.

Saw Bo compete at the Buckmasters hunting club archery tourney one time. He is a bad man. He used to do tv spots for Alabama fish and game.

I always was in awe of his athletic ability and can remember his over the top in the iron bowl as it ripped my heart out.

I watched that last night and have always known he was a hunter. But did y'all notice he was making wooden arrow with a heavy two blade broadhead?

Not sure if you saw but it was crazy when he was rehabbing his hip after hip replacement surgery and they said he could hit the bullseye over and over just using his feet.

One of the guys talking about his rehab, said he would shoot a bow with his feet and hit bullseye. At the end of the show, I think he also said he regularly practices a 70-80 yard shot .

I was a big Bo fan back in the day. I read his book in 8th grade and did a report on it for achool. Pretty good book if I remember correctly. It was titled Bo Knows Bo if any of you are interested.

Does any one know how many pounds he draws back? I'll bet it's around 100

Didn't watch the 30 for 30 last night, but I can remember seeing him on an outdoors show where he was fishing with his bow from the deck of his boat. Was pretty ridiculous to see him pinning fish and then reeling them in.

The QB for Auburn was a good friend of Bo's and was with him when he bought his first bow. Supposedly Bo was hitting bullseye straight out of the gate. He's just a phenomenal natural athlete.
