Hi,
I'm Rob Bridgman and it took me 27 years to kill my first wall hanger. My Brother got his wall hanger first time out. My father got his wall hanger shortly after. I don't have that kind of luck as you can tell. Every year I would harvest a couple of Does and a small Buck. The racks around here don't get very big. Big bodies with small racks. I killed an 8 pointer one year and he only had a 11 inch spread.
So when I saw my big 9, I about fell out of my tree stand. It was a very emotional day for me that day.
