Wow...PA's certainly been cranking out some nice bucks this fall....

Seems like in all the posts showing nice PA bucks, AR's are given credit for producing these deer by alot of out-of-state hunters. Honestly, are AR's the main reason for this? Is the age structure of your deer herd that much better than it was prior to the AR era? I mean PA has been producingmonster deer for years...well before AR's came onto the scene.Couldit be that AR's have just focused more attetion on to the state's deer herd than in the past and more trophy class bucks are being brought to the surface now than there was 10 years ago (thanks in part to sites such as this)?

I wish we could improve our age structure here in NY. Like PA, we produce some stud B&C bucks every year...butour deer have SO much more potential than most people realize.
