I live not far from the city of Pittsburgh and I hunt various places in south western PA. Usually once or twice a season I'll make a trip up into the mountains east of the city and do some hunting at a friends camp. So far this year I've been seeing alot of deer. I'm itching to get some meat in the freezer so I won't be hesitating to take the first nice doe that presents a shot.

This will be my 19th seasonhuntingand my 15th season using a bow. I've never been a trophy hunter and usually I'll take the first legal buck that I get a shot at. In the WMU's that I hunt regularly we have 4pt to a side antler restrictions.

Last year I hit a nice 8pt with a basket rack but neverrecovered him. [:'(] I found out about 2 months ago that this buck is still alive and well with no signs of being hit.I've been told he's got the same basket rack with a little extra mass this season. I think this is where I might be for opening day on Oct. 1st.
