Rothaar got old. Sold his broadhead business to Magnus (I think?). He lived in big buck country prior to Ohio having firearms seasons and crossbows! He worked six days a week 3 to 11 PM at Timken bearings. Hunted ever available hour, made broadheads in his spare time.

The incident was about a deer that was shot near a wildlife refuge in North Western Ohio. He says he shot the deer and it ran into the refuge. The game wardens said that the blood trail started in the refuge and ended in the ground where he said he shot it. I do not trust Ohio gamewardens so I would probably believe Rothaar.

I talked to the guy at several hunting shows. He never got rich from his broadheads or his books. He only shot about a 10 deer in his life when I met him (1989). All with a recurve bow starting in the early 1960's He only hunted older deer. I think he was framed by the wardens.

Did you ever hear the story about the Ohio game wardens who were selling metal antler tags to poachers? There were several accounts of this all over the state. Who do you believe?
