Thats an impressive buck! Tell your friend Congrats!!

Did he have that buck aged?

RE: Pa Antler Restrictions
 

So who wants to guess it's dressed weight?:D

RE: Pa Antler Restrictions
 

Bleucheese thinks that buck would havehad a larger rackif shot at 1.5 years of age. He can prove it he says.

RE: Pa Antler Restrictions
 

Betcha he could find enough different "facts" and "figures" and reassemble them to make it look possible!

RE: Pa Antler Restrictions
 

No, we guesstamated him to be a around five. this guy is so poor he cant afford to mount it. so he is doing a euro. Who knows, some hunter might of had him in his crosshairs as a,fork horn, let him pass and look what he growned up to be. And most importantly, all the breeding he did.

As I said, guys that support ARs don't understand the basic concepts of deer management. The more bucks that are saved by ARs the more bucks will be lost to non-hunting mortality. For example, if ARs saved an additional 40K buck in 2007 with a non-hunting mortality rate of 18% ,7,200 of those buck will be lost to non-hunting mortality which would reduce the buck harvest by 7,200. And ,if 20% of the 2.5 buck weren't AR legal as 2.5 there would be 6,560 fewer legal buck so the total reduction in the buck harvest just due to ARs would be 13,760 buck.

RE: Pa Antler Restrictions
 

Are you saying that buck wasn't AR legal as a 2.5 buck?

RE: Pa Antler Restrictions
 

very nice buck, wow.

if only we could get those responsible hunters to hunt PUBLIC GROUND in my area, that would be nice.

i cant understand hunters that will kill every deer in area and just move to another and have no feeling for what they have done.

then come back and drive same area again expecting deer to be there .

was this is the 4 point AR restriction area

RE: Pa Antler Restrictions
 

I don't know, I never personally got to meet this deer as a 2.5 year old.

RE: Pa Antler Restrictions
 

Here is my deer from this past season. The largest I took to date. I am no deer biologist, I only know what I see. And I am seeing more mature big racked bucks taken sinceAR has been inplace than I did in my whole hunting career beforeAR, and I am hunting 35 years now.
