Roger Rothhaar - A Gem

[joe skipp]

Did he have a can of Mountain Dew in his hand?...Super person, good shot and great deer hunter....plus a lot of fun to spend a week with.

I met Roger and his wife at an archery show in Wellsville, Pa., back in the mid to late 70's, can't remember the exact year.  Very nice people is what I remember most, very personable.

There is not much better than settling in out in the "barn" to listen to a bunch of stories from Roger.  He doesn't even START spinning the good ones till after midnight!  He was so far ahead of his time and understands the stickbow so well it amazes me.  I jot down a list of questions all the time, so when I see him, as infrequent as it is, I have them handy.  Whenever I think I have one that will stump him, its like, "Yeah, I tried that 30 years ago...don't bother"   :eek:  

He is the most wicked deadly shot I have ever seen and has outshot me every time I've stopped by with my bow in the truck.

He still likes the 'Dew and his steaks RARE!

Love his articles and books.Sure wish he would write another?

[Ryan Rothhaar]

I know he has a couple articles coming out in PBS Mag before long....don't hold your breath on another book, though.

I've corresponded with Roger off & on over the years. He has always been prompt with a reply and advice or stories. My brother and I had a chance to visit with him in '05 on our way to "Boot Camp". Ryan just happened to be there too. We got to see the trophy room, had a tour of the farm, shot some bows and listened to lots of stories and it was a great time. He gave my brother a autographed copy of "Whitetail Magic".
I'm sure he's forgot more about hunting Big Bucks than I'll ever know. A class act for sure!

GREAT thread and I agree with you guys ten fold....Gun said it "class act"

42lbs and big Snuffers......here I have been worried that 47Lbs isnt enough
