Where did the shots land? - First was a double-lung straight through without hitting any ribs. Second was an uphill shot and entered the chest low in the briskit and exited through the shoulder completely obliterating the heart. After the first, he must ahve been trying to figure out what hit him or something.
120lbs? Is that a normal size weight buck in that area? Smaller? Larger? That's about average for adult deer in that area of PA - he looked like he'd already been gutted when he was laying there, so he'd pretty much worked every stitch of fat off him running does. Probably would have been 15 to 20 lb. heavier if I'd got him early in Archery season before the rut really kicks in.
Still - he'd have never been around to grow such a rack without the change in antler restrictions from 1 3" spike to needing 4-points on one side like it has been since 2001.
