Default RE: Your Rob Buck Stories

My first buck (Gun)in early 1980's was a Rob Buck. I was I in my teens. Hunting from the ground behind a make-shift ground blind on top of a Mountain where I could see the bench below me.
It was bitterly cold!! It was around 10:30 am opening day. I was freezing. I was down on my knees cooking pork and beans on a can of Sterno. I look up and here come a Buck over the hill. He has 3 points on one side (this is way before antler restrictions although he'd still be legal in my area) and something on his other side. I'm now shaking so bad from the cold and the excitement, I can barely hold steady.. Breathe Breathe Ok this is as good as it gets.I center the open sighted 6mm on his shoulder and Boom! Down he goes, I wait half a milli-second and run to him! He falls good antler side down..the side I can see is broken just after the brow-tine making him a 5 point. By the time I get back to my stand the beans are boiling...ahh life is good!
