The other thing about PA is that we are a one buck state. So, guys won't shoot a buck just because he is a cull buck. That would be the end of his season.

As for this buck, I would have shot him no matter what. We watched him for 6 years and got pictures from neighbors of him 7 years prior. He was at least 8.5 years old and probably 9.5 or 10.5 when he died. He was an absolute horse and I would have given him a shoulder mount.

For the record, there was one year when he had more than 6 points. He would have been legal at around 3.5 years old. The year before this picture, he was actually a 5-point. On one side, there was no G2. The main beam grew into a big moose paddle. His name was Csonka.
