It's antlerless, not "doe only", in Special Regs areas until the regular archery season opens this Saturday. That's the earliest you can legally kill a buck in Pa.

Yeahhhh its definitely illegal to shoot a buck with a rack right now until Saturday. I live in wmu 2b and its also "early antlerless season" here also. I wouldn't tell to many people you shot a buck.

dont argue with the man if he dosnt want to be out in the woods wounding deer let him go home early

I use to use an old pump, Coleman lantern with half a coffee can under the globe. It worked great. I have not tried a kerosene one.

Special regulation area.

Thanks
 

Thanks for all the comments.

As to the advantage a gun has over a bow...it is not just range, it is delivered energy (knock down power).

Range wise...the shot was at 20 yards and, I saw the arrow hit and the deer run off with it sticking out. It was hit just behind the leg a bit high. I was shooting from about 20 feet up in a tree stand.

Everything was as it should have been except.....the deer got away!

I will be out there again with a shotgun in the near future.

Sorry but there is no special regulation area where you are able to shoot a buck before sept 29th. Read the seasons and bag limits in your book that your hunting license comes with.Attachment 23274

Here's the 2nd half Attachment 23275

Thanks foxfire, this is correct. This guy has to be a nit-wit. :hit:

Guys, he said it was "special". Like super secret stuff.
