I shot a nice symmetrical eight point buck back in Oct '23 that my taxidermist green scored at 129 0/8 gross. The minimum score for the Game Commission's record book for a typical archery whitetail is 115 0/8 net. I used the B&C spreadsheet to score them myself after the 60 day drying period and came up with 125 3/8 net. I've been trying to get it officially scored by the PGC since mid December but so far no luck. It would also qualify for P&Y (125 0/8 min net) except for the fact that they won't accept crossbow kills so my only real option is the PGC book.

The first thing I did was to email Bob D'Angelo who is in charge of the PGC book. He has given me the names and email addresses of two different Game Wardens who are official scorers but so far neither of them have responded to my emails. I understand that they are probably still swamped with work right now but it would be nice if they could at least acknowledge that they received my messages or give me some idea of when they might be available. Has anyone else ever tried this? I guess if you want to drive that far you can also take antlers to the PGC booth at the Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg to have them scored...

BTW, the shed in the photo is one that I found in Nov '21. I don't know if it is from the same deer but it sure looks similar. I found it about 1/2 mile from where I shot the buck last fall.
