Had I not missed that 130-140" Buck last year, our Team Hooters Shooters would have been the reigning champs. Here where I hunt in PA there are antler restrictions. A buck must have at least 4 points on one side to be a legal buck. Some guys on our team were getting on me to shoot any buck just to get some points for our team, but they didn't realize I couldn't legally do it. There are quite a number of good bucks in the areas I hunt. A real good buck for this area is between 110"-145"...not too many get over the 145" mark without someone shooting them in rifle season. I know for a fact the buck I missed during archery season last year made it through until this year because my buddy found the sheds last March. He keeps them in his truck and rubs them in my face every time I see him...a constant reminder of my mistake. But one things for sure...that buck is still in the area and I'll have another chance. I just have to beat my buddy to him...lol.
