Way to go Rob! Not me! I've gotten my first , and few more after that. There has been a boatload of "firsts" posted this year. It is great to see all the guys getting into trad hunting and getting their first animals.

Kudos to you Rob and Congrats to the lucky winner, whoever it is!

I am still in hot pursuit of my first.  I have had some very near misses but not connected yet. This is my second trad only season.  No harvests yet but wouldn't dream of doing it any other way anymore!!!

Very kind of you,

I'm still waiting for my first, but this is just my first year so I'm  content to be patient and enjoy the wait.

There's nothing like walking the woods with only bow and knife. Can't imagine what took me so long to give up the boomstick.

Thanks Rob, amazing offer, and good luck to the winner!

Very generous offer Rob.  This is my first year and have yet to loose an arrow but I've been close enough to several critters had the shot presented itself(or had I not been busted).  I already have a hunt planned at that same time so I'm out, but thanks for the offer it's very appreciated.

Rob,
Great offer and I'm inclined to throw my name in as well!  I just got a kitchen pass from the wife!   :bigsmyl:

I have been unable to connect on bear up in Ontario and I'm still deerless with the stick and string...  Awaiting first blood with trad gear is starting to get hard on me!

Thank you for the offer, brother!
God Bless,

This may be the first time I've been sorry I've managed to shoot stuff. Normally I tell lies about how big. This is the first time I've been tempted to say I haven't shot any!!

I killed a doe way back in High School 1975. That same year I shot under a monster buck and missed by inches. I was in a Baker tree stand. I know you remember those.
I quit bowhunting for several years and was trying to make it as a pro bass fisherman. That didn't work out due to health problems. I have been back bow hunting for five years and haven't scored yet. I have had two misses. Hope you get your deer soon Rob.

Have had some close opportunities within 20 yds but either other hunters waltzing in or thick brush has mucked it up, so I'm still in pursuit of my first.  My ground game is getting better all the time.  Just a matter of patience.  I have a feeling this year's the year.

Hey Rob that's great man.  I never thought a guy walking around with his butt hanging out of his clothes at the classic this year could be so generous...lolol  Just kidding my friend.  I've been after my first deer for five years now but I have got a hog a few years back so that counts me out.  I look forward to seeing who wins though.  Good luck to whoever gets it.

The only thing I've killed with trad gear was a couple of carp 2 years ago. Heck, I just got my first deer with a RIFLE the day before Thanksgiving, after 9 years of hunting! Don't know if I qualify, or if I'm too late to put my name in the hat anyway? Either way, this is a great gift you're giving! Good luck too all who made it in the hat, and God bless you Rob for such a generous act!

All depends on the terrain and how I get there.  My Stewart is 68" and a 3pc.  My Centaur a 62" 1pc.  Maybe bring both?  Wow.  I'm at a loss for words.

Yeah, bring 'em both!  :D

The terrain's as flat as a frog's ass. Nothing grows above 10 feet & it's spot & stalk all the way.

I'm still shakin my head  :)   This is just too cool guys.  I'm humbled.  I did not expect at all to win.  I was in the middle of mowing my lawn today when I stopped and pulled my phone out of my pocket to randomly check my PMs and a TG pal had sent a message with congrats on winning.  My eyes bugged out and I let the mower stall out and just looked up at the sky and let out a huge laugh and a smile.  Texas hog hijinks!!  I can't wait!  Anyway, I seem to already have found a carpool buddy in a fellow hunt-attemdee headed my way from Jacksonville.  This is too cool. I just took advantage of Cabelas post-Thanksgiving sale to buy myself a GPS.  Up til now hunting WMA's familiar to me Ive been a map and compass guy.  It would be a memory of a lifetime to bloody my first arrow in Texas, special to me cause its my wife's home state.
