Some nice bucks (pic)
 
Guess where this nice gang of bucks came from?

RE: Some nice bucks (pic)
 
I don't have high speed and only a small portion of the picture showed, with you saying bucks, I'll assume there is more than one.

I'll take a stab at this question. They were shot in WMU 2g, there were 11 bucks and 34 doe running in a herd, with the larger bucks being in the middle of the group, therefore the smaller ones were shot. There were no other hunters in the woods to move these deer, but they were chased by a pack of Fishers. Behind the Fisher was a family of Bobcats, who in turn were chased by a pack of coyotes. The coyotes were being pursued by two mountain lions, with RSB running behind them saying, "but they aren't a breeding pair".

Moral of this story, if you only post half a picture, you get a half arsed answer.

I zoomed up the photo in my Corel program and changed the brightness. To the right of the truck looks like Mt. Laurel. This still covers a few WMU's. I have to say 2d.[/align]

Actually guys, these are all bucks that were harvested this past season in PA in 2G

The photo is from a taxidermist in Pennfield sent to me by a friend who always manages to find deer up there himself:D

The one tag that you can see on the bucks left beam seems to be a little wide to be a Pa. tag. If they are Pa. bucks Ill take a stab at it they came from douges Treasure Lake.:)

I think Doug tried to send that pic to me some time ago but I never got it. Those are without a doubt some nice buck.

But how significant is that truck load of bucks? What percentage of the bucks harvested in 2G had racks anywhere close to those buck? Are those buck as much the result of the bad weather on the 2007 opening day as they are due to ARs? Did the snow cover in 2008 account for the harvest of a much higher percentage of older buck? Some of those questions may be answered in march when the pGC releases the harvest data.

It is very significant! It shows 2g has deer. It shows the bonus of Ar's ,bigger deer![/align]

Wrong. Cessnas taxi is very popular in the state of PA. I have talked to him many times. Alot of hunters hunt other WMUs than they are from what he says. They travel down by pittsburgh to hunt deer cause they are larger. I bet most of those deers are from locals who hunted the western part of the state and brought their deers back to have Cessna mount them. I know Cessna from mountain runroad in Penfield. Try again from what WMUs they came from. The hunters might of been from2Gor 2E or 2F or 2D, All these WMUs are within 30 miles of Cessnas and maybe some of the deer,But don't say they all came from 2G when that is a lie. Don't believe me, Call Cessnas and ask him. Again that is a total lie and as RSB, you try to minipulate the truth. In your face btb.:D:D:D:D

I attached no particular significance other than where they came from.

I will venture an OPINION though. 2007's horrible weather probably saved some bucks that aged another year and this years (2008) great conditions probably helped bump the harvest to a better than average number including some of those leftover bucks from last year.

It is interesting though how you claimed that the horrible weather of 2007 was not significant but now the great conditions for 2008 somehow are significant.

can't have it both ways sport!

Three posts in two days and all three are incoherent, borderline illiterate and inflamatory. Nice way to start out here. Or should I say welcome back Pedro?

I do not have a sworn notarized affadavit from the sender but I've never known him to lieor make up stories.Istated in the first post that this was sent to me. I did concede that this is secondhand information.

If you have genuine verifiable information about the photo, bring it on. Without it, you become a liar by calling me one. So put up or shut up.

For those questioning the tags, I believe the tags on the antlersappear to be the taxidermists orprocessors tags. I know that it is a common practice among taxidermists and processors to attach their own tags. I can only spot one tag that appears to be a PA tag in the ear.

On that we can agree.0

It is interesting though how you claimed that the horrible weather of 2007 was not significant but now the great conditions for 2008 somehow are significant.
I didn't question if the weather decreased the buck harvest the first 2 days of the 2007 season. I questioned why if the doe harvest made up for the decrease later in the season, why the buck harvest wasn't effected the same way. the 2008 harvest data will resolve some of these questions.

That is the first I have seen that picture so I don’t have any specific information about the bucks in the back of the truck at that time. But, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised to find out that they were all from unit 2G. When I was at that shop a few weeks ago he already had close to four hundred bucks in more still trickling in every day.
That taxidermist told me that the best buck he had in his shop from 2008 came out of unit 2G though the rack wasn’t there at the time, as many hunters take the antlers with them to show to friend or have them scored until the taxidermist calls and needs them back to mount on the head.

I took a few pictures while I was there of the rows of racks hanging in the shop. There two rooms filled with racks hanging from the ceiling so I took a picture of each room. This taxidermist gets most of his work from units 2G, 2F, 2D and 2E though there will be a few from other parts of the state as well.

And now the pictures:

Sometime later this year I will have the number of bucks, the average points and spread of the bucks plus the ages from most of the bucks in his shop.

When will the PGC provide the data that get from their annual survey of deer processors? If the data supported what you are reporting it would be trumpeted as a huge success of ARs.

I don’t know when any particular data might be released. But, antler restrictions are already known to be a success in most areas of the state and have ever increasing hunter support.

Some still don’t like them, but independently done surveys, conducted by professional poll takers, proved the disgruntled are in the minority. That seems to match what I hear in the field when talking with hunters, too. I almost never hear anything negative about the antler restrictions even from hunters complaining about not enough deer.

Those are some good racks. I have two buddies that operate
taxidermy shops. Plain and simple.Starting the third year of AR's, their business has picked up for big buck mounts.
