There are absolutely big deer in PA and its getting better every year. I am a PT taxidermist and I see some heavy horned deer every year being brought inthe 120's-140's. Lets also not forget the big black bears from Carbon countyeither! I mounted one for a guy two years ago that went over 600lbs live. The more antler restrictions and the more competition between hunters the bigger they get. Believe it or not and I hate to say it but the more the hunter #'s drop and the older the age catagory for hunters goes up the better the hunting.
