And if you think about it, having that buck doing the breeding is natural selection, the biggest, strongest and he had to be the healthiest and smartest to reach that age in the state of PA.
The biggest buck may have survived all these years because he looks like a sub-legal buck.
There's still some disagreement as to whether that deer was legal or not. It depends on how you hold the tape measure.
But, honestly, I would gladly pay the fine and listen to the game warden tell me that this deer needed to be protected because it was too small and young to be shot.
My buddy shot that one. Czonka is still alive. My biggest buck was 4.5yo and weighted 232lbs on the hoof. Still a bruiser in my book.
