RE: PA Buck Gets "The Truth!"
Are these bucks comming from the antler restricted areas? Seems like a coincidence but the AR's have been around for a couple years and you all are now killing some huge bucks. Keep pushing them a little farther north into NY.

Awesome PA whitetail, bro. That's definitely one to be proud of.
I can't believe how bleachy white those antlers are already...Maybe it's just the pics, but he looks like he's toting a December rack in those pictures. Amazing.

RE: PA Buck Gets "The Truth!"
He was shot in eastern PA 
And he was shot in an antler restricted area of 3 to one side, not 4. I took a gorgeous heavy mass 8 that weighed 220lbs dressed! last year. Believe it or not I weighed him in. And the year before I shota 20" wide 9pt out of the same tree. Every year they get a little bigger on my land. But I also let probably 6 little buck walk each year. I take a couple doe to fill the freezer every year and I have just happen to be lucky enough to take some nice buck in the past few years. But trust me I know its not always easy I hunted for 6 years from when I started as a young boy till I got my first deer. But for about the last 10 years being heavy into archery I have had chance at some really nice deer. And im not one of those guys who dump apples and corn under his tree all year either! PA is growing some really nice deer, everyone has thier opinion on the antler restrictions, however I have been told by more then 1 GC that almost as many little bucks are being taking by guys with rifle and shotgun bc they only hunt that first week of gun and anythingsticking up from their head will do. So im not sold on it working quite yet, but it must be contributing somewhat. Obviously! Thanks again guys for all the congrats. We will be measuring him tonight at the taxidermist. Ill post what he finally scored. Sure wish I would have found this site earlier to get on a team! Maybe I can make a strong case for the PA team for next year.....hint hint! 
thanks again guys its a real pleasure/honor to be a memberof this site.
