PA BUCK
 

Did anyone get any nice buck in PA this year?

RE: PA BUCK
 

Yep

RE: PA BUCK
 

Bluebird 2 did, no pictures but it sounds like a slammer.

RE: PA BUCK
 

No pictures? Interesting.

Did it have all 4 legs? Two eyes?

RE: PA BUCK
 

We shot a few nice ones.

RE: PA BUCK
 

I shot my best PA buck on Oct 4 with the bow.

Stilll not happy we seeing virtually no deer but I did shoot a good one.

RE: PA BUCK
 

Letting mine put a few pounds back on after the rut. ;)

Plenty of time left. My best two PA bucks have been taken in late archery season.

RE: PA BUCK
 

Why is it taking an expert hunter like you so long to harvest a buck? You had no problem belittling me for not filling my tag so should I call you an inept, incompetent hunter for not filling all your tags by now?

RE: PA BUCK
 

You don't wanna go there Skippy!

RE: PA BUCK
 

So you're one of those guys that can dish it out but can't take it!! Why am I not surprised.

I know, those 2.5 buck are real smart and hard to kill.

But a 14 year old girl took that trophy.

RE: PA BUCK
 

BTB better run out and kill somethin quick like! Your honor sir is at stake! The combatant BB2 has issued an online slap of the glove across your face. You two are something!

Whitetailhunter,

Ignore these two. For some reason, they're following each other onto every thread just to keep bickering.

As for your question.

Our camp took 3 nice bucks this year. An 8, a 10 and 9 pointer. All with spreads of 17" or better. Mind you, we're on Private ground so this isn't unusual for our camp.

I haven't heard of too many bucks being taken around us though. Some shooting on surrounding properties, but I have to say...its been an awefully quiet season.

RE: PA BUCK
 

I got this one the second day in 3C.

RE: PA BUCK
 

my buck i was after was shot
he was only buck i saw in archery.

my biggest worry is NO FAWNS, NONE.:eek:

RE: PA BUCK
 

I can tell you on ground that is private in 2D most all got skunked. Even the farmers that feed em' got skunked. During bow we saw many shooters and few doe. First wek of gun we saw many many doe and small bucks in the first week, but no shooter bucks. I still have flintlock. I do like the 1 st week buck only. If flintlock turns put the way I think it will, I will be spending my vacation time at camp in flintlock season. We can hunt bow (Xbow BTB, LOL[8D]) and flint for a few days oiin relative peace and quiet.

RE: PA BUCK
 

only thing i hope is weather is not like these 2 weeks,man, it was cold.
i could not take 2 days in row hunting in this weather.

you should have seen the hunters next to me in treestands.
i was in my 49 dollar 17 ft ladderstand.

it was SOLID on big oak tree.

others had those summit climbing stands.

they were swaying all day ,back/forth,i got dizzy watching those guys swing in wind on monday/tuesday.:D

RE: PA BUCK
 

I hunt in 2A, Western Greene.

Got a doe on Monday with a pistol. Saw 6 bucks, 4 does.

4 of the bucks weren't legal, 2 I wasn't sure. ( 4 point AR area)

EHD sure took a toll last year. Lots fewer deer this year.

I certainly feel for you northern guys.


Anyway, got a nice 8 point on tuesday. Saw this guy before the season and was hoping to get a crack at him.

Nice buck there Windwalker7! Congrats!

RE: PA BUCK
 

Not sure why you referred to me with the crossbow thing there BH1. You must have me confused with someone else. As I pointed out many times recently, Ihave become fairly nuetral on them. I own one specifically for the late season where flintlocks arent allowed and where I hunt inspots wherethe cover is sparse and movement can become a big issue. I shot a doe just this Wednesday with one. More than anything else, some of my best spots for late archery require that I virtually have to remain standing and hold a conventional bow "at the ready" at all times. At my age that gets old quick especially when the weather gets cold. With the crossbow, it's possible to remain seated most of the time and still be ready for a shot.


I still have a wee bit of concern that they will have an effect on the early bow season, but the results from other states don't really indicate a big cause for that concern. At least not to me.

RE: PA BUCK
 

Shot this guy in archery on Halloween night.

RE: PA BUCK
 

LOL, yeah that was a little big. Having a problem resizing. :D Have to settle for the link.

RE: PA BUCK
 

Got this buck on October 25th in 3B. Rattled him in.

RE: PA BUCK
 

That's a great trophy anyone would be proud of and it is the first blue buck I have ever seen in PA.

RE: PA BUCK

Congrats!!!

RE: PA BUCK
 

i think i have finally come to conclusion, i have to hunt eleswhere:(

nice buck indeed

RE: PA BUCK
 

RE: PA BUCK
 

Thanks Sproul, I had my doubts early in the season but a month of frustration and continually spending time in the woods at different locations finally resulted in another nice buck.

RE: PA BUCK
 

Does it look blue in the picture? It was brown when I shot it. :D

RE: PA BUCK
 

Arrowed a 6pt. on the first day of Archery
