Default RE: A Trophy Buck Is?.....

i think it depends on a lot of factors. i don't know how to "classify" deer so i'll just stick to what i know about my area. the fact is that only 1 out of every 5 hunters in PA bag a buck each year (legally anyways). we have a ton of spikes and 4-points, a bunch of 6-points, a few 8-points, and if you are lucky enouph to bag a 10-point or higher, that is definately a hanger. don't get me wrong, we have our occasional "monster bucks" with the size and mass of the one saw on tv....... but they are far and few between. i think it's getting better though because every year i always come home from being out in the woods hunting turkey or squirrel and give the " i saw the biggest buck i've ever seen, even bigger than the last one i saw and he was big!!" story. so i think PA hunter's will start harvesting bigger deer in the upcoming years.
