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.

Someone mentioned a bright light. I read that a kerosene lamp makes blood stand out like crazy, been looking for a one ever since just to give it a try. At any event photographing searching with a K lamp would make for some great pics.

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.

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.

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