Congrats Rob, your wife was right!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Okay guys, bear with me. I'm overwhelmed and I don't want to miss anyone.

fatsbucknut, thank you. Can you imagine me shooting yet another unique one. Makes ya think I'm passing quality typicals to hunt for one of these guys. LOL

Thanks Siman08/OH, there he is. :)

LOL Germ, I wouldn't let ya down. Are you in the lead? I lost track. If I take all these Rob bucks out of the gene pool maybe I'll finally whack a typical. Look out IL, send your monster nontyps my way. :D

Many thanks kill it n grill it and wallhangr, definate character.

lifesadrag, he was a biggun. I'm glad Brian and I opted for the atv, not that we were afraid of the work but to keep the cape clean for mounting. We did huff it and puff it getting him up out of the drainage. I'll have to invest in a scale.
Oh, and my decoy laid in the grass in my honey hole, this spot is my hollow.

Appreciated IAhuntr.

duke, thanks and I just got word that we get an extra morning in IL which is always good. Monday the 10th is my bday so I'd love to shoot another bday buck, especially in IL but I won't wait if one presents itself Sunday!

TexasBowHunter, hammerman, pwrsrtk350, finner, racewayking, muckland, Walleyefever, thank you very much.

wild, thanks buddy.

jim1966, BOWHUNTER818, thanks much.

virginiashadow, he is one HELL of a buck. thank you.

MOTOWN, V8Ranger, The Deer Destroyer, KodiakArcher, thank you very much.

Greg / MO, thanks bud, no nuclear here and to think, of the 4 Rob bucks I've taken in the last 5 bucks, they came from 3 different areas. Hey, they just find me. LOL :D

buttonbuckmaster, he is a tank, I didn't weigh him but I should. Every year I get asked that cause it seems I do shoot big deer body wise. I have to invest in a scale. Ask Brian how heavy he was and oh, word of advice, don't try to drag deer in Muck shoes, right Brian?

stickler, I hope you do to, thanks neighbor.

thanks jackflap.

Mike, say it Hunsucker, This is my second Halloween buck. Seems it's a magical day in the whitetail world. Kiinda kicks off the next two weeks and we all know what the next two weeks will bring. :)

WesternMdHardwoods, I hope I still have a pickup load of mojo left.

GR8atta2d, I know I mentioned I didn't weigh him, most likely over a 200lber though. My taxi definately aged him at 3.5 years old so he was solid. He wasn't all rutted up. His neck was thickening up and his tarsals stunk to high heaven but he wasn't in full agailia.

WV Hunter, I don't know about deserve but I'm proud to have taken him. He's a good un. :D

robdre56, I hope you do well, thanks, GMMAT, wow came to mind when I first saw him too. ;)

Thanks NY Bowhunter, how's the injury, you still out there?

Schultzy, they have a way of finding me don't they. Yup, who gives a **** cause if I wasn't proud of them, I wouldn't pull the trigger and I'm happier than hell with him. I guess I'll do a little turkey hunting this week as well as camera duties for friends. Next Saturday I leave for IL and can do it again, I hope. What are the odds for and against me taking a monster Rob buck in IL?

Huntinglady, thank you girl, I mentioned above this is my second Halloween buck but hey, I'll take that buck you shot anyday.

WesternMdHardwoods, it's not trick photography, it's just good photography and his score is down cause of tine length mostly plus some mass. I'm happy as hell with him. He only has a G1 and 2 on his left side and I added the other as an abnormal point.

Thanks Austin/WI, Pat Curtis, jcpopejr, bigbuck00 and Oneshot7. Yeah, he's a Rob buck. ;)

Thanks, my7pointmonster, I'm a little miffed I didn't just turn the camera on. I know we don't know how it will play out but had I just turned it on and left it alone the buck would have walked directly into the frame when he stood looking up at the camera/or me. It would have been unique footage. I pushed the camera out of the way with my Octane stabilizer. LOL

brother bloodcrick, Happy belated bday to your boy. I'm feeling good about IL now. I told my friends that if I wasn't tagged out in PA that I wouldn't leave until after light next Saturday. Now we can leave Saturday morning and the outfitter said we can hunt all day Sunday even though we weren't scheduled til Monday. Hey, an extra day, I'll take it.

whitetailbowhutner, janesburg, thanks man, I mentioned above, I didn't weigh him but you can bet I'll have a scale before next year. I get asked that every year and I wish I had an answer.

early in, Mikey S., hatchet jack, VAbowman, thanks guys. I truly do appreciate it.

tkycaller, (wags), yup, I sure am. Ben might have me book for evenings but I'm available mornings if you want me to come down. Have camera, will travel and hell you have your great camera as well, we'll set them both up. Other than that, I'll be turkey hunting with my bow, there are birds out front of the house and I know where there is a group of gobblers.

BigDaddy12t, jjlemm001 thank you and thank you teammate Cougar Mag.

GregH, isn't that uncanny? Hey, if I can follow your footsteps I'll take it, now send me some 170's mojo for my IL trip!

Thanks buckmaster, Rory, Xzylum and jmbuckhunter. I know. :D

Brian, (BPBowhunter), Yes the words are necessary, I cannot appreciate your help enough. I'm waiting on the call to assist you at any time. Get that Patriot up here so we can get her ready as well.

Thanks quiksilver, BigJ71 how's the healing, thanks my big friend.

MATHEWS PA BOWHUNTER, thank you sir, I look forward to the pics, and congrats right back at ya. Halloween is special isn't it?

pa yote hunter, thank you too. Hoytail Hunter, lol, taking good pictures is a must. I have BPBowhunter to thank for the assist there too but 300? LOL not even close. That buck would go over 200 as a 3.5 but he wouldn't see 225 I'd doubt. He is a good bodied deer though.

Thanks mobockhunter79 and capt mauser06. Another one for Elowapi but you knew right, you were my capt before.:)

wis rifle hunter, Droptine249. Many thanks guys.

PreacherTony, lol thanks bud and it was great talking to you too. Sorry about the camera phone or lack there of. My cell is my work cell so I guess I'll break it and get me a camera phone. LOL

wibowhntr, lol, I know but I wish ever 500 entrants could kill a buck. I did for you last season as your teammate. :D

LOL what curse PABuck HNTR? I love my bowkills. I'm not cursed, I'm blessed :D

trailinone, nodog, your on the list of congratulators as well as the thank you list, thank you.

Thank you Carpmaster and nybowhunter.

Hang in there CCPaHunter, they are starting to move. I know it's suppose to be warm this week which is no help but hang in there.

Thanks mossberghunter93 and Matt/TN, I wouldn't call them messed up, I prefer the term unique! :D

And thanks bowmanaj, she usually is! I mean always is!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

X-rays were negative. Nothing broken. Possible tendon damage. Going to see an orthopedist to check it out further. Yes I'm still out there. Nothing short of a nuclear explosion is going to keep my gimpy butt out of the woods this time of year.

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Congrats, Rob! Didn't get to comment on this until this morning, but I saw the pictures last evening. Awesome buck, great character as usual. Of course, it doesn't hurt you're on my team, as well;) I had a simialr scenario to yours this morning, but no shots. Saw a lone doe at around 7:30, then nothing. Around 9:15, 4 does come sprinting into the food plot, followed closely by a decent 6 point. He was chasing them all over. He never did get close enough. Congrats, again bud. Now it's Ben's turn.

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Way to go Rob, I passed a couple so far, and got one with my truck on Thursday.

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Congrats on an awesome buck! Gotta feel good man!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

I just threw-up all my Halloween candy I ate last night looking at those photos. Congratulations on that Halloween monster.

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Wow, what an awesome buck! Congrats on the Halloween buck Rob!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

I just signed on to see what you shot, Rob! That's a dandy buck and I'd be proud to have him too. Congrats man!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Rob, congrats on the buck, that is an awesome looking rack. I didn't read every post, so I don't know if this was asked or not, but how far did he make it? Way to go bud!:D

Shane

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Rob, congrats onthat buck. What a Hoss.

Paul

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

I'm healing just fine....don't worry about me, enjoy that big ole buck my friend!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Even though I got to see this buck and congratulate the man in person, it just wouldn't be right if I didn't say it here too. Congrats buddy. Couldn't be happier for ya. And now, I have a caller/ cameraman.

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

great buck, what a horse

congrats!!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Rob,

first off a big congrats. I showed my son Nick the pictures and his comment was " dang Dad, that thing would be a pain to drag". I laughed and told him " Yes son it would be but you could handle it" LoL..........I think he understood my meaning.

Once again, Congrats.

Dave

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Rob-Congrats on a GREAT buck! I love the character of his rack. It sounds like one incredible hunt.

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Wow what a super "ROB BUCK", Rob!!!!!!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Congrats Rob, thats an awesome buck! Great story as well!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Rob congrats on a great buck. Did you take any pictures of the entry wound? Aiming at the last rib, leads me to believe that the arrow would have done a lot of damage on its way to the lungs. Just currious what yound while gutting him?

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

NY Bowhunter, good to hear, heal quickly.

MGH PA, thanks and sounds like your onto them, keep at it, it's getting good. Any vacation? I have some spots that are still fresh, it could happen any day just like mine yesterday.

Big John, thanks my seldom posting friend. How's your season going? I thought maybe you'd come out of hiding for this one. Good luck if your still at it, the next two weeks are going to be good.

HuntingEd, KCMO Cityboy, ScottF2345, NCRemington700, thanks so much.

sr77, thank you and actually nobody asked. He went about 40 yards uphill and that's where I thought he was going to crash, he gave that wobble/frantic look and then disappeared down the drainage. At that point he probably covered another 30 yards as the death run.

Surf62, thanks, I'm thankful Brian came to help, even with the atv I wasn't sure how I would have gotten that Hoss onto the front and tied down. Sometimes I forget how friggin big a buck can be. 200lbs isn't alot but when it's dead weight like a buck, it sure can be.

BigJ, that's good news and I am concerned. Heal fast buddy. I'm coming your way next Saturday if not sooner so hide the women and sheep. ;)

Ben, well...you know. :D

dmen, thanks man.

SouthernMDArchers, thank you. See above reply about dragging lol, what a heavy chore once they are down. I just had to shoot a wrong way model, he could have run back the way he came and that would have saved half the work. LOL

Brett/IL formerly rdy2hunt. Thanks bro.

Thank you Predator19 you too Finchy. :D

rookie, I said to Brian I should take a pic of the entry hole (actually your the first to ask) then I forgot. Keep in mind I shoot Snypers and the entry was probably 2.5" wide, there was no exit wound but the blood was incredible once it pumped out the high wound. That explains why no blood at the impact. Upon gutting it, the liver was severed, both lungs were deflated and the was a slice in the heart. The broadhead was imbedded in the brisket/chest dead center between the legs. I could not pull the arrow out, I unscrewed it from the broadhead and can you believe that damn aluminum is still straight. It's the same one I shot my doe with and now this buck. I'm going to clean it up again, shoot it to be sure and it's going to be my number one arrow.

I found the broadhead in the brisk/chest after skinning him out.

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Hey Rob...maybe I missed it somewhere. How much did he weigh (he looks really big), and what did he score?

Great job again...that is a super deer for sure.

-Mike

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Hard work and dedication pays off in the end.......it used to be the American way.;)

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Dandy buck Rob! That thing looks like a cow! I bet you guys worked your tails off getting him out! Great job and good story!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Congrats, Nice Buck!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

CONGRATS ROB!!! You make us fellow PA BOWHUNTERS PROUD!! GREAT BUCK!!!


Hatchet Jack

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Congrats Rob, that thing is a pig !!

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Rob,

Again congrats, and thanks for the kind words, but it truely was my pleasure. I'm really hoping to make that phone call to you soon. :D

As for trying to drag a deer while wearing muck shoes don't attempt it, about broke my damn ankle. [:@]I actually left my boots in my truck, and believe me I will never do that again. [8D]

Rob's buck was a horse, I'm no expert on estimating weight, but I would say he easily weighed 225 plus live weight. All I know is it gave Rob and I a real work outdragging him out of that hollow.

Again great job my friend.

Take care.

Brian

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

Awesome buck Rob! Huge congrats bud! I haven't been logged on in 2 days so I am a little late. Anda bonus is we are teammates. :D

RE: Halloween Rob Buck Down.
 

WV Hunter, thanks so much. I did mention I have no idea of his weight other than an estimated 200-225. He's posted in the contest entry thread.;) Thank you.

IOWAWHITETAILS, thanks and I'm glad you like the story. It needed told. LOL I appreciate it and am still laughing about it. Tonight while in the stand filming Ben / PA, I started laughing and he looked at me and I said, imagine the odds that I shoot another freak Rob buck. I'm still giddy.
