RE: Here is a big PA buck.... yep antler restrictions don't work
Nice buck. I'm guessing a 3 year old, 120 class deer. Hopefully, his tines grow in bit longer by season. That'll make him a shooter for sure.
I agree and disagree with some of the comments. I don't think AR hurts, but I definitely wouldn't attest to having all of these big racks because of that alone. Too many factors play in to it. Hunting pressure is a real big one. If the herd is stressed year in and year out. Most likely you won't see the caliber of bucks the property is capable of. Of course shooting every single deer within the county won't help procreation either.

He's a nice one alright. I've been told by a neighbor that there's one like that he's seeing most evenings--except this one isn't full grown yet. He says it probably would go 120 dressed. It'll be hard to pass a buck like that even though I know he'll get bigger if he lives.
