Thats a beautiful buck for sure,,,hope ya get a chance at a nice 1 like that this season! I guess i just have to be done debating this issue,,,Im really discouraged with the lack of deer sightings i saw last weekend,,,and i knew that by posting it on here, it would become an issue of i "dont know how to find deer".I've come to realize that discussing herd #'s with some of these guys is like the war on terrorism,,"you cant beat a guy that has no value for life"

Like Corny said. Hunters from Ohio and other big deer states would not raise an eyebrow at that deer. Just another product of Pa.s failed deer program.

Rem, I am not going to say our PGC has no faults. I am not going to say there is no room for improvement on their deer program. I just choose to make the best of my time and have a great day hunting. There are more deer of this quality,then most hunters realize.

They may not raise an eyebrow, but I wouldn't be afraid to bet that some hunters would chit themselves if this deer popped out in front of them. Pa or any other state.

And I'am not so sure of how many hunters would scoff at a 150 whitetail hunting under fair chase conditions.

Amazing how a guy who is upset that he has to wait for 3 or 4 points on a side scoffs at a 150 class buck isn't it?

That's a mighty fine buck regardless of where it is. Anyone that says any different, doesn't even deserve a "seat" at the discussion table.

There are now several bucks close to that feller, up in the area of 3A where I hunt and all are very happy to be seeing them now. Those who have hunted there for about 50 years like I have, are nearly estatic over the current opportunities.

I'd be a pretty happy old buzzard to drop one 'em come fall, too. Might even settle for one half that nice? I'll decide if and when the chance arises.
