He sure is a bruiser!!!!!!!!! Good luck with that guy!

That is a shooter for sure. I would say that he would score in the 130' s easily. Hope you get him!

Jason,
GET REAL EXCITED OVER THAT DEER! WOW! []That is a good one!
Looks like big double split brow tines (I think I see a split on that left brow from the side pic, but that could just be the right split extending backward)
with G4' s that wrap over the ends of the main beams as the tips hook inward!
COOL looking buck!
Man I know what deer I' d be hunting!

Your right Buck Magnet, definately a need for capitalization. That is one fine buck you got there and it seems with all the recent pics, your username is working for you..[8D]

Now, what are you going to do? Since you can' t legally hunt him in that area until 30 days after the bait was gone.....I assume you' ll be passing up some bucks the first week or so...? Good luck at him, I' d be after him if I were you too....it' s gonna kill you to wait that week aye?...

Score?.... Tough to decipher in the pic but gross...130, net 120...IMHO but I could be wrong, I was once...

Sweet [][] Good luck this year.

Brian

I can' t believe how many bucks you have on that property! How many do you think you have and are you doing anything to keep tham around(Food plots, bait, feeders, minerals)?

Good Luck........but I don' t think you need it!

Thanks guys.

Cloud,

I put out White-tail Addiction mineral last year in about 6 different spots, and only two got use, and it was minimal at best. This summer, I planted a food plot in my woods where the smaller 12 point was photographed! That was rape and turnips! This summer I put out several hundred pounds of deer corn though-out the woods, but now, the pics are comming from natural trails.


This is farm country out here! The woods are all " broken plots" ! They are just all small (30-100 acre) patches of woods that are broken up by houses or by fields. There are tons of corn/alfalfa/clover fields in this area, along with large patches of crab apple trees, and the woods are made up mostly of white oaks.

I would say that we have close to, if not more than, 50 deer per square mile in this area, but, there is just so much food that they can sustain themselves!

In previous years, 85% of the deer you saw were does, but now, I am seeing about 40% bucks and 60% does. The antler restictions are really helping to save the young bucks, and, this area has alot of guys who are willing to pass up small bucks for a doe. We have minimal amounts of poaching due to the fact that if you poach a deer, you are probablly going to be caught, as everyone around here will not stand for that and will turn you in.

My property, and the properties that I have permission to hunt are managed by my best friend and I. We have convinced my family members to pass up smaller bucks and take does instead. It is really helping our area stand above the rest.

I' d say gross 150 net 140

man thats a nice buck.....id whack a few of the small ones without thinking too..but i havent gotten anything big yet...just a 6pt basket and does...alot of game will eat that corn...ive had 40lb bags dissappear in a week...dont know how fast because it was at a friends camp and i went up a week later...i also had a mineral block out there so i know deer ate some of the corn because they liked the block too..looked like a tornado came through to eat up the corn though lol...good to see alot of PA bucks...i cant wait for the season....now the leaves are starting to turn and the underbrush is thinning out.....tomarow might call for a little walk in the evening..i have a buck i want to see..i found his bed in the smae place as last year...he was a 8pt last year...prolly 14-15 inch spread...not huge but a half decint buck..this year he might be decint...i want to set up on his trail and wait him out....maybe ill do that tomarow....man your cams are doing good! congrats....good luck on bagging one of those guys...you have enough to choose from in a bunch of spots!

That' s an awesome buck, good luck trying to harvest him this season.
