Typically each week I find a few minutes to look at the field photos on the P&Y and B&C websites.  When I took a look at B&C today, there was ol' Roger--smiling on the inside   ;)  I can't tell if that is a Black Widow or one of the first Habu's

Take a look:

That looks like a Widow in "Autum Oak" but he does shoot a Habu in MBB-II.

and he's wearing my favorite, WINONA camo...I really liked that stuff....sort of a precursor to a lot of other large field lighter camo patterns.

That was '91, I think.  Pre-Habu days - would have been an MA-III likely the 64 lb @ 29.5 limbs I have now.  He shot that deer on the ground in standing corn back of my Uncle's place in Ohio, near Bucyrus.  There was standing corn late into November that year with some sections picked, and there was a party going on, kind of like a college town on a saturday night.  He caught this guy cruising for chicks 20 yards out in the picked section while the old man was a couple rows in the standing corn.  Just goes to show - women will get you into trouble every time.

That was a relatively young deer - Dad thinks 4 1/2 maybe even 3 1/2 yr old.  He nets around 172 due to the great symmetry.  This is the only deer he has entered in a "book".

I hope he slowed down drinking all that Mountain Dew! He was shooting a Widow back in '87...and you wouldn't want to stand in front of him out to 40 yds either! The man can shoot....

As others have said what a buck...that Winoma camo can still be bought from what I understand.

Not sure if it's under the same name but the pattern is available.  Always liked that camo also!

Ryan, as I recall, your dad killed many of those early bucks with a Don Assenheimer recurve.  And, I think I recall him taking one or two with an old Cliff Coe Takedown.   Feel free to correct me 8^).

Mo. Huntin

Thanks Ryan I really appreciate you filling us in on that.  That is awesome.

The big non-typical he killed up by us in Illinois was also taken on the ground. He was at the base of a big oak in a standing corn field and the giant buck came at him through the rows. It was after a doe. That was the biggest bow kill taken in our county. I think it still remains Rogers biggest buck. He was kind of reserve around us, but once he got back to my friends house, he was very excited when he called home! Ha!  Mike

That is awesome.  Ryan, we don't see too many posts from you anymore, but obviously you still look a bit!  For sure, one of the Micheal Jordans of big buck hunting!

Steve O

Yeah Ryan, you should post more often...and answer your e-mails   :D  

Joe Skip-Roger still drinks PLENTY of Mt. Dew and is still to this day, or at least he was last spring, the best shot I have ever seen.  

I heard the next PBS magazine is going to be full of all of our favorite whitetail gurus...if you are not a member, you will want to join up just for the next issue   :campfire:

Steve.

I keep looking at the page but I don't find Roger on it--more specifics?

Steve O

Click on "enlarge" whatever field photo is showing.  This will bring up all three...Roger is the first one I believe... but all 3 are tremendous animals   :thumbsup:
