Archery season approaches...seen quite a few VERY nice bucks here in SW PA! Anyone else???

I have only seen one that has been very impressive. I have located probably 10-12 different bucks and most are 4's, 6's and small 8's.

I've been seeing some nice 8's and a few big bucks up here in NW PA. Of course there are dinks all over teh place too!

Nope..

See, it was last year before Christmas, my wife and I were going
to visit her family in Buffalo, NY (we leave Virginia and head up
I-99/Route 220 on up through PA, veer over onto another road,
and eventually up to DuBois and Route 219 on up into NY).

Anyway, I just remember seeing a huge farm field inbetween
Exits 3 and 4 on I-99/Route 220. I just remember getting yelled
at by my wife, because I almost drove off the road, after seeing
the size of that buck!

All I gotta say is: Holy #*&! do they grow 'em big in Pennsylvania!!![8D]

Hey archerygirl , yes im gettn itchy , next monday is the day for out of state anterless permit applications , I think you locals can put in today . Ill be in beaver county first 2 weeks of november , picking thru the scrub bucks waiting on one like in Ts pictures . Good luck this year , hope you get a big one , and remember to post the picture on this board .

I been seeing alot of decent 8 point bucks and one huge 10 pointer n a farm nearby. I really don't start seeing the big buck until the weather starts cooling off a bit.

Unfortunately the biggest buck I've seen so far this season is on the property in which I work. Absolutely no hunting allowed. There is a nice 12pt running around. I've been keeping my digital camera in the car but it's been about 3 weeks since I've seen him.

last night here in SE pa, i was driving around my normal deer drive on the back roads and i saw 10-11 nice to HUGE deer. the smallest deer i saw i think would go about 120 and the biggest around 140 something non-typical. i couldn't believe how many nice bucks were out last night.

archery girl: i also hunt out in SW near Irwin and have been getting some nice reports of some big deer plus a monster that i saw last season who was a massive 8 point and has survived another year.

SEEMS LIKE TO ME THAT THE ANTLER RESTRICTIONS ARE WORKING!!!!

i've been seeing some nice ones just driving around the back roads at evening, i got my eye on a nice 8 point on the property i hunt, hope he's around come october. Good luck this season.
