It was plumb stupid Hogwild how many he ticketed on that green grass. Here's a story relayed to me by some folks on an offshore trip about Kelley's Flat. They had a driver and 3-4 guys standing in the back with buckshot trying to kill that same muy grande all the locals were after. After several passes down to the store and back the driver finally sees him and gives the knock on the window that there he is. They stand up too soon...the buck walks out onto the road and stops...driver yelling shoot...shoot...shoot!!!They can't because they can't see for the tears rolling down their face from looking into the cold wind!!! Deer runs off. They pull back into their drive at the camper and Robert pulls right up behind them lights off and gets out and grills them...then gives them tickets for loaded guns on the highway. Then they swear he says...good thing you kids stood up too soon and got blinded by tears or you would all be in jail now!!! How long did you follow us? And in a typical Robert face said... JUST LONG ENOUGH!
Dang shame that deer got killed...... Robert hauled those antlers around a while. Not sure what he did with them??
A guy that was in my grade in school got to seeing 2 BIG bucks here by the house.....he started riding through at night a LOT. He pulled up one night at Johnny Bagley's pasture, turned in and eased up the little road by the field......turned his light on....and there they were!! He eased the rifle out, got em in the scope and eased the Safety off.....about the time the Safety clicked, Roberts big hand grabbed the barrel and shoved it down and said. "Don't do it. I've seen enough!" He almost crapped his pants! Robert had stepped on back of his truck as he went through the rough ditch into the old road without him knowing it!!!! LMAO
