I personally don't like them in PA as I'm perfectly content shooting a 4 point.
I felt the same way at first. Now I'm trying to be a little more selective....at least in archery.
It helped that my son was a MY and is now a junior hunter. He has two more years of not being under ARs. He has shot two 4-pointers and a spike since he started hunting, so we got our meat without being selective.
Another thing we started seeing a few years after ARs......G4 tines and non-typical points. Before ARs, I was convinced that typical 8-pointers were the biggest bucks we could produce.
Honestly in 25 years of hunting I have never seen a buck like your big one (or the live one, he's a brute)
Sounds like you are lacking mature bucks. You would think, especially in Wisconsin, you'd be seeing a lot more big bucks (body and rackss)
