Talking Big Va. Buck

Was in the local gun shop the other day and in comes a guy that is very excited. He was out in his stand and shot this nice buck:



Okay guys I know it is archery season here in Va., but thought you all would appreciate a nice rack here. It measured out to 20 pts, was not scored yet.

The funny part is that it was shot in a semi residential area. He set up a stand in his sister-in-laws backyard. Her property measures just under 1 & 1/2 arces. Wich borders a field. No one in the area would let him hunt on their property so he was stuck in the backyard.

Here is another photo. I don't want to show his face because I don't know him and don't have any permission to show his face. What a pain in the a$$.



He shot it with a crossbow from about 15 yards. I just came right to him and turned. Why don't I have that kind of luck???

Yes we do rafsob, and that's a nice rack in anybody's book.

Without a doubt, no matter what he shot it with. That is a great buck.

It was taken in the upper penninsula, Lancaster County. He wouldn't say exactly where though. I have been in the area, but never hunted there.
