This morning was a great, exciting, and cold ( 25 degree ) morning. 10 point. He was chasing some does and made the mistake of stopping at 30 yards from my treestand twelve feet up in a pine tree. Broadside shot. Waited a half hour and found him approx 100 yards away. Shot with my Frankenbow. Bear Black Bear compound riser with Samick Sage recurve limbs, 62#@28", 2018 Aluminum Arrow with a Magnus Classic broadhead. I thank the LORD that at 62 years old I can still bow hunt as hard as I do and still have the desire to.

The chill always goes away when ya score a hit. Nice healthy looking deer. Congrats.

Great job Nemophilist. Wonderful way to show the youngsters how its done thru hard work and perseverance. Also you shoot Frankenbow rather well I have seen your efforts on the daily shot post. Nice buck.

Nice buck. Congratulations!

Mike, I had a lot of insulation on this morning. But your 100% correct when I seen him coming the cold went away.

20th. Bear season here in Pa. Your in a lucky spot. Congratulations, Nice buck

Buck of a Lifetime for 99 44/100% of bowhunters - hell, ALL deer hunters - and for you it was a chip-shot.

Nice buck ,and that combo bow is my go to when shooting target. It just works.

Praise God indeed.

You da man, congrats on that buck.

That is an awesome buck congrats

Very nice buck. Congratulations!

Nice buck, I've seen several pictures of the animals you have taken over the years along with your shooting abilities on The first shot of the day. So, along with being a good shot you must be good at keeping your cool when game approaches and this is a skill that eludes a lot of hunters. Good job

Congratulations on your hunt.

Great buck , congrats!

Congratulations Frank!

What a stud! Buck is nice too! Lol! I am so impressed with a 30 yard kill! Well done man!

When I saw the word “Frankenbuck” I had a feeling it I was you. Congratulations on a fine animal. Thanks for sharing with us and for the photo of “Frank an’ Buck” Lance

Nice Buck Nemo.

Nice!! Congrats on a great buck

Cool! May I ask what poundage were your limbs rated from the factory?

Peej, I PMed you.

Thanks everyone.

You lose about 4#, at least mine did on a Black Bear compound riser, so I would have to be 65 at least.

That's a great buck! Putting it all together and closing the deal in the moment of truth with a bow on such a great animal...that's magnificent. Congratulations on a successful season.

Nice buck, Frank. You're right...he certainly made a mistake by stopping broadside 30 yards in front of you!

Awesome job!

Wow!

Congrats.

Great buck. Congratulations

Inspirational, although the drive ain’t what it used to be but I do still enjoy getting out. Hope that continues in the future. Good job brother !!

Nice work Mr. Frank, very nice buck.

Great deer Frank!

Good shooting, nice deer.

Way to go Brother

Very Nice!

Very nice! Congrats on a dandy of a buck. Don't ya just love it when your work all comes together.

Way to go Frank. That’s a fine buck!! Jim

Thanks everyone for the kind words.

Frank - just recently returned from an extended bow hunt in SE Minnesota, so wasn’t able to catch up till now.. Well done on taking that buck. Not a long recovery which is always good too. Wonderful critter. Congratulations.

Stay Safe/Shoot Straight. MT

Congrats and Regards.

Thanks again guys.

Way to go! Congrats to you! That's great buck!

Great buck!! Congrats!

Nice buck Frank!

Thanks again.

That’s awesome brother

Congratulations!!!

Very nice deer! Congratulations

Well done Frank, nice 10 and a 30 yarder! Only 62 yo...still a pup. Wait til you're 63 like me..lol. Congrats bud.

Thanks again for the congratulations everyone.

I decided to get the buck mounted. WoW did the taxidermy prices go up since the last one I had mounted. :(

Well, he's a "mountin' buck" for sure, buddy! Good job Nemo, 30 yards is the deal! Ain't it a shame, it's over in such a short time?

And yeah, I'd have to take a "Booner" to justify a shoulder mount these days! Euromounts fit my wallet nowadays! And as stated above, you've got plenty more years ahead of you!

Kwikdraw it wasn't too short of a time. From September 18th to November 20th (64 days) I only missed nine days of bowhunting. My wife had my picture put on a milk carton. "LOL" I do have a few euro mounts they're nice also.

Hey Nemo, talkin' about each hunt, from spotting your target to recovery, it's over too quick for me! But that's the way it is. And yes, my season started Oct.1, and will end 1st week in Jan. so lots of time to hunt and feel the thrill! Still have one hog to hunt and a few does, so it ain't over yet!

Hey Frank, wife has a great sense of humor! Like the milk carton deal!

Love it. That is why you are successful. Got to stay with it. Hard core bowhunter. I love it.

babysaph, I like what Ryan Rothhaar (Roger Rothhaar's son) said. " My father told me a quote long ago (I think from Yogi Berra) that sums it up pretty well: "There may be a lot of people better than me, there may be a lot of them that are smarter, but nobody is going to work harder than me." I give my Dad and Mom credit for my work ethic. If I don't succeed it won't be from not bowhunting hard.

ttt- for 1/2miledrag.

I just saw this.

Congratulations!

Me to just seen this post Congratulations!!!

Thank Nemo I missed it first time around. Great buck and great shooting. congrats!

Thanks. I'm getting him mounted.

Great deer…congrats!

Got my buck mount today. Taxidermist said it wouldn't be done until the end of April, but he got it done early. :)

That turned out great Frank, can't wait to see it in person!

You're going to have build an addition on your house if you keep killing all those big bucks!

looks great!

I know you have to be happy with that mount, it looks great. Nice job Frank!!!

Congratulations, looks like a great memory to a great hunt and shot. Bill

Jim, My wife wants me to make our master bedroom into my game room and the small game room I have now into a bedroom. I'm all for it since the master bedroom is at least twice the size of the game room I have now. But it is down the list of the projects I need to get done. A few days ago when we had that wind storm with 60mph winds the wind blew down three nice sized pine trees in my yard. I cut up and disposed of two of them and I still got one left. Plus I have that big maple tree to cut up in my yard. Plus I have a handful of other projects to get done around the house before archery season gets here. So the move to my new game room will be pending until I get the other stuff done.

Great looking mount Frank. That rack is even more impressive than in the original pic. He’ll remind you of the hunt every time you look at him. Good luck with those chores.

I like it, Very nice Buck mount, Big too

grizz the first picture Supernaut took with his cell phone. The picture of the mount my wife took with her camera.

Come on man. We know that buck wasn't killed in Pa. I heard you guys don't have deer like that. Me thinks you snuck off to Kansas to hunt those tame deer. All kidding aside that is a great buck. I know you worked hard for it. It looks great. Looks bigger than the kill pic in the back of the truck. Congrats.

Awesome Deer!

Jack, Must be the different camera that make it look bigger. Or Supernauts camera made it look smaller.

There are some nice bucks in Pa. Jack. But it takes a lot of scouting and a lot of hunting hard. Check these two out that were bow killed in Pa.

The buck on the left was killed in my county.

That’s a nice one man. He did a great job on that mount.

You and the Taxi did a good job. Beautiful buck. >>>----> Ken

Nice mount!

Great looking deer!!

Very nice. Great buck

Handsome mount! His main beams sweep upward quite a bit before spreading out giving him that tall rack look. I like the dark forehead also. Great looking deer and great job getting him Frank.

Thanks everyone. I think the taxidermist did a great job.

Outstanding, Frank. A real testament to hard work, determination, and perseverance.

One thing though... You possibly could have held him out in front of you a little further to turn him into a true "magazine" buck!

Well done, sir, well done!

treetopper, No holding him out in front that would have been dishonest. I'm happy just the way he is. The LORD has been good to me more than I deserve.

He looks great there Frank!

WOW that looks great on the wall

Wow Frank. I’m mounting turkeys from last spring!! And you got your buck back from November already. I’ve got 80 heads ahead of me to do. You’re fortunate.

And by the way, he did a fine job on a great buck. Enjoy. Jim

Jim, I was surprised I got it back so soon. I figured since the taxidermist said end of April, I'd get it back the end of May or even June.
