My best buck to date although not I wouldn' t consider it mature...it was 2.5 to 3.5 yrs old and I did see this buck prior to harvesting him. In fact, I saw him on two occassions our last week of archery, during the rut here in PA. I arrowed him the 3rd time I saw him but I had not seen him prior to that week but I usually reserve that stand to the last week...
