Well guess what. The sessions were a big flop and let-down. The top bucks for most regions were pretty lackluster and wouldnt even beget a raised eyebrow in states like Ohio or any other good buck state.
Well, I dont think i need to tell you that "they" said a helluva lot more and hyped up the sessions alot more before the results were had than they did afterwards. LOL
Just read an article in a magazine the other day stating ""Is this Pa's biggest buck of 2008?" The buck was a low 150's think around 153 or so if I remember correctly. Great buck. But Best bow buck in the entire state last year?
What a joke lmao.
My co worker arrowed one last year that net scored 153 0/8 as a nontypical and 147 3/8 typical. Of course, he didn't bother to have it "officially" scored or entered into the bragging books...just like most of the guys I know that kill big deer. Of course a quick look at the PA record books shows that many of our largest bucks were killed decades ago, and while we are killing less yearlings today, there is NO evidence that the rack sizes have increased within age classes. Another failed Alt prediction. So why do most other "quality" deer states harvest a few "booners" every year, yet in PA everyone gets a lump in their pants over a 150" deer? Thought PA was the new leader in deer management. LMAO
