The big game scoring results are featured in this months PA game news.

Here are some of the results

206 bowhunters and 91 rifle hunters entered typical deer. While there are a handful of entries killed in the 80's and 90's, the vast majority have been killed since 1999.Interestingly, 9 of the Top 10 bowkills and 8 of the top 10 rifle kills were killed in 2004 and later (post AR)

While 206 bowkills vs 91 rifle entries seems to indicate that archers are killing more big bucks, the majority of big bucks still fall to rifle hunters.
the minimum for a rifle deeris 140" while the bow minimum is 115" If the 140" minimum standard were applied to bowkills there would only be 59 entries

Three new all time deer records fell. The new number one bucks of all time forarchery both typical and nontypical were taken in 2004 and 2007 respectively. This was of course, after AR had time to work.The all time best nontypical gun buck was taken in in 2007.Also after AR had a chance to work.


I guess this aint Mississippi after all
