Here are the results from the 2001 PA scoring session.
The award winners, by category, are:
Typical White-tailed Deer harvested with firearm: Ronald J. LaBrosse Jr., of McMurray, harvested a typical antlered deer that scored 172 and six-eighths. He took the deer in Washington County in 1996. This score just missed qualifying for one of Pennsylvania's top ten typical white-tailed deer harvested with a firearm. The last time an entry was added to this top-ten list was 1974.
Non-typical White-tailed Deer harvested with firearm: Garry Forgy, of McVeytown, harvested a non-typical antlered deer that scored 197 and three-eighths. He took the deer in Mifflin County in 2000. This deer ranks seventh in Pennsylvania's All-Time Big Game Records for this category.
Typical White-tailed Deer harvested with a bow and arrow: Albert J. Muntz, of Havertown, harvested a typical antlered deer that scored 174 and seven-eights. He took the deer in Bucks County in 1995. This deer is a new state record in Pennsylvania's All-Time Big Game Records for this category, and breaks a record that stood for 15 years.
Non-typical White-tailed Deer harvested with a bow and arrow: Eugene W. Livingston, of Boswell, harvested a non-typical antlered deer that scored 195. He took the deer in Westmoreland County in 1995. This deer ranks second in Pennsylvania's All-Time Big Game Records for this category.
After 6 years of ARs one would expect to see at least one new record from this scoring session, but maybe we are harvesting a higher percentage of our 2.5 buck than we did in the past.
