Shot this guy chasing some does,thompson center 20ga sst slugs

Thought I'd help you out with the picture. When did you shoot it?

Sullivan County PA or NY?

that must be PA, ive hunted sullivan county NY my whole life and never seen a deer over 8

I noticed from his previous posts that he had hunted 3C and 3J and one of those units are in sullivan county NY. They were also the first 2 units to go to antler restrictions back in 2005. So unless he comes back to elaborate it's probably a NY deer.

Beautiful buck congrats!

I shot the deer in 3c in new york,It was shot in Qdm area.I'm still seeing a ton small bucks after 3yrs of Qdm we should be seeing more big 6s and 8s I spend a lot of time in the woods hopefully we start seeing some more of these bucks roaming.

Congrats on a nice one.

We've had antler restrictions in PA since 2002. We're starting to see 120-150 bucks a lot now. It took a few years. Are you guys popping does, too? A lot of PA guys hate the reduction of the herd, but I think it helps the bucks to flourish.

In the rut, if I see a deer, I'm surprised if it's a doe. I also only see about 1 spike a year. It's crazy. I actually rattled in two 8-pointers this year. We saw two 10 pointers spotting and actually saw a legit booner about a month ago. I think the restrictions might work.

they will, as long as HUNTERS let them. Have you or friends come across deer just left in the woods because of rack ID mistakes?
