RE: Possible Pa state record buck pics (shot last night)
 

The photo on my computer at work was really dark. Now that I see it better I believe you are probably close on the age livbucks.

Anyone want to guess the score? I put him in the mid 180's gross and maybe low 170's
net.

An awesome buck, no matter what.

Sure am glad the PGC got some sense and made more like him a possibility!:D

Yes, but we could be wrong and the facts could prove we are wrong.:D

Real nice buck!!!! Ya done did good!!!! And it doesn't matter where you take the pitcher-----a buck like that one doesn't come around very often and the photo looks great where ever it's taken. You're little girl looks like she's wondering just what all the excitement is about.....:) How about an estimate of how high up in the tree(if you were in a tree stand) you were to get out of the whiffer of that trophy. Thanks for the photo and good luck the rest of the season!!!!

wow... that's a beauty.

It was common knowledge that this bad boy was around Rothsville. Although I never saw him, several of my friends did. One of them almost wrecked his car when he saw him.

The guy in the pic farms his father-in-law's farm (Zimmerman), below Keller's mountains. Nera perfect deer habitat.

Remember , you ask for it.

Prior to AR there were always a few monster buck harvested every year. But, if that buck was in fact the product of AR ,here is the price the other hunters of PA paid in order for that one hunter could harvest a trophy. In 2002 the buck harvest was reduced by 38K due to AR and in 2003 it was reduced by 61K which is a grand total of 99K buck that weren't harvested in order that one hunter could harvest that trophy.

The fact is that in 2003 AR only increased the number of 8+ pt. buck harvested by 4,100. That is a lousey return for preventing 38K hunters from harvesting a buck in 2002. Furthermore, it prevented hunters from reducing the herd by 5%/yr. as Alt claimed was necessary. So in order to satisfy a few trophy hunters 99K other hunters paid the price and the herd hasn't been decreased by even 1% since Alt was appointed and in fact it has increased ,at least according to the PGC.

Actually this buck is the product of AR. Not Alt imposed AR, but AR practiced by this hunters and the select few that have permission to hunt his and surrounding farms. These guys are very picky and will not shoot just any deer.

I did not hear this first hand from the hunter in the pic, but a friend told me he heard he actually passed up a nice 8 point about 15 minutes before this bruiser appeared.

Weikert, he didn't pass on the 8 point it was chased off shortly after he got site of it by this brute coming through the cornfield.

That's a heck of a buck. Don't know if it will make state record. The record is a 21-point that scored 203 inches. Can someone get me in touch with the guy who shot it? I work for the local newspaper and I'd love to hear his story on this brute.

RE: Possible Pa state record buck pics (shot last night)
 

buckman519, the state record taken with a bow is not 203. You are reffering to the one taken with a rifle in Erie. If this deer scores 175 typical he would take the state archery record. If it's scored NT it will have to score higher but it's still not above 200. What newspaper do you work for, I live in the area and had this pic sent to me the day after it was shot so I may be able to e-mail the guy who sent it to me and see if I can get you in contact with the hunter.
