RE: Some nice bucks (pic)
Here are a few other pictures from that same Taxidermist’s Shop taken during a couple past years.
The first one is one of the best bucks from twenty years ago compared to the buck his son shot in the 2006 archery season. That 2006 buck was the smallest of the group three already coming into his stand when he was getting into it. It was the only one that offered a shot.

The best 2007 archery buck in the shop:

The best 2006 rifle buck: The one on the wall behind it is nice too:

Cessna's taxidermy 814-371-7639.Call and tell Cliff AR's don't work
Furthermore, none of the buck s were produced by ARs . They were all legal for 1 or 2 years before they were harvested . Those bucks are due to reduced hunting pressure due to HR.

I think that a good point BB. Reduced hunting pressure. Many know that the north central has very low dd and avoid it like the plague compared to previously.
I think here in the sw, outside of the sras, our hunter numbers increased thanks to so many other areas of the state tanking. I think that may be one of the reasons our quality here has declined.

There is no need to call Cliff since he is only concerned about making money and would naturally defend ARs . But ARs were implemented to produce bigger racks they were implemented to increase breeding rates and shorten the breeding window and breeding rates have decreased by 5% and the breeding window is unchanged. Therefore, ARs have failed to produce the predicted results.

RSB is right. My Dad shot a basket racked 8 point in the "good old days" and it was considered a trophy of a lifetime.
It was no bigger than that basket rack in the first photo.
Personally, I believe it a crime the way we used to harvest 90 percent of yearlings every year.

The guy that killed that buck owns a business in Dubois.It scored right around 150.I'm not positive but I think it was killed in Elk county.My buddy's step son killed the largest one brought into that taxidermist this year and it scored just under 160 and was aged at 7 1/2 .That buck isn't in the pictureand it was killed in elk state forest nearSinnemahoning.Last year,he had a buck in that scored just under 190.
Could it be that instead of dying asa forkie he saw enough hunters in his first season to learn how to evade and survive? Aint it great to know that he passed on those genes to 7 generations?

But that was just more of Alt's propaganda. We harvested 52K ,2.5+ buck in 2002 before a single buck was saved by ARs. That would have been impossible if we harvested 90% of our 1.5 buck. In the second year of ARs we only harvested 62K 2.5+ buck, after ARs were supposed to have saved 50% of our 1.5 buck.
