Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
This buck was taken with a bow on November 12th in Allegheny County PA, a couple minutes from my house. The official score of this buck is.... Net Score (Typical): 178 2/8"!!! It grossed 185 1/8" with 6 7/8" deductions.
Hasn't made it to the PGC site but here is a link to the current record and this buck scores approx 3" more than the PA record with a bow! Also it's within the Top 5 Typical bucks ever taken by hunters in Pennsylvania. http://www.pgc.state.pa.us/pgc/cwp/v...a=485&q=151994  Some more:   What do ya think about that?! |
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record - Bow. (Pics)
A great deer,but no Pa. record. The last list I seen from my memory on the PGC and P&y or booner stats bigger were taken in Pa years ago. I think some over 200 score. I need to get on that list. (NOT). Heck I have a 186 shot in 1980 and never thought much about gettin it on a list. Just think that breeds a spirit of envy amongst hunters and causes problems.

RE: Potential Pennsylvania record - Bow. (Pics)
OK I was thinking of the NON-typical buck with bow. It was shot in 88 and was 202 .

What town?
A trophy of a lifetime! Congrats to the hunter. |
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
What a buck!
That is truly a magnificent buck but that doesnt look like a PA tag on it! |
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
It looks like there's a pretty nice 9pt laying beside his buck in one of the pictures. They must have had a banner day.
I wonder where he was at in Allegheny County? I did some scouting out near the airport and saw some pretty good deer. I tagged out before I ever made it out there to hunt tho. Who says PA antler restrictions are silly?? |

Yea, where's the ear tag? I bet there is more to the story..could this be an Ohio buck?
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
What state has a greenish tag that wraps around the antler? Certainly not PA.
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Looks like an Ohio tag to me.
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
And people bitch about Gary Alt...[:o]
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Very nice deer!!!!
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
It's not an OH tag or a WV tag. This years OH temp tags are yellow and there official tags are metal.
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Where ever it was caught.... It is still a NICE Buck!!
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Buty,but not A Pa. tag. this is a Lebanon co.Pa. deer got by a friend,note the silver tag on it's right ear.
 |
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Northern or southern Lebanon?
Gap deer?? |
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Southern Lebanon near Lancaster Co. line on A farm.
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
nice buck but deff not a PA buck our tags are silver and must be attached to the ear so that is deff not a PA buck!
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
the deer in question , where about in allegheny co was it shot , anyone know?
Plus maybe the shinyness of the tag is reflecting grass to give it a greenish tint? possible! |

I asked about the tag on another forum. It's tape over the tag to hold in place.
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Ok...
1. It is a PA buck. 2. It was shot within the city of Pittsburgh (not sure which district, wide area though), Allegheny county. 3. That is one awsome buck! Very symmetrical, gonna make a good looking mount. ------------ I've actually been in contact with the hunter's wife regarding some land that they are selling. The deer is legit. Cool stuff if you ask me. I asked about the tag on another forum. It's tape over the tag to hold in place. |
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
 Can you see the tag in this picture? ;) I assure you it's tagged legally. |
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Ok, PAhunter21
I'm not bustin' your rocks or anything but you said it was taken a few minutes from your house but you don't know what town or area in Allegheny. Seems odd. Are you brand new to the area? |
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
the tag is in taht deers left ear , tucked in , u can see the twisty tie or whatever is holding it on in the pic , also i can see the different shade of white in your bucks ear... now that it is mentioned tape does seem like a good idea , ive had tags rip out while draggin deer in PA, kinda silly that it has to be in the ear , rack seems fine to me ......
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
The tape makes sense. Frankly, the rule saying you have to tag the ear seems pretty stupid. Best idea I've heard for that is to use a big safety type pin or one like on the license holder instead of cutting a hole big enough to put string or rope through. Gotta admit the last big Pa buck I shot went to the taxidermist with the tag on the rack. Game warden was there when I dropped it off and he didnt say a word about the tag. He definitely saw it cause he looked the rack over for quite awhile. Sometimes common sense prevails.

RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
I have a pic of a buck I shot with bow this year in PA, in November 2004. It's an up close pic of the rack BUT it's too big to posts on here.. Anyone know how I can shrink it down to fit on the post?? It also has the upclose of half the tag.. it's a brownish metalic tag. NOT GREEN.

Are you brand new to the area? lnitially I though the deer was shot in Elizabeth TWP (south of the city), which is where I live and where the person that took the deer owns land. After talking with the hunter's wife again and reading an article, and another msg board on the net, it turns out that they were hunting a friend's land that is within the city limits, which livbucks, i'm sure you are aware, stretch pretty far around the actual city. I moved to Allegheny County within the last year but was born and raised in Beaver county, only a hop and a skip away from the city. Unfortunatly i'm very familiar with all areas surrounding/in the city as well as the unbearable traffic that clogs the highways like a 300lb bacon lover's heart. ;) |
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Got it now..
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
Did anyone notice that non of the real complainers have said anything about how this deer is a fluke, or was possibly a hint of the Alt plan or anything...Kinda makes ya wonder..

RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
I think he (or she) is trying to say that the Alt haters are being quiet when a big PA buck is shown. That it might prove that Alt was right and they don't want to confront that. However - it doesn't prove anything. There have been big bucks before Gary Alt was around. This is not going to turn into an Alt thread so I'm dropping it. Awesome buck and I'd love to hear more about it.

RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
boy tell you what that deer and the other deer shown on this post are awesome
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
thats a great deer for PA
|
RE: Potential Pennsylvania record w/ a Bow. (Pics)
What's this talk of metal tags? Do different counties issue different tags? Up here in Warren county, we have a paper tag (gold or pewter) that we attach to their ear. I've only ever hunted deer in Warren county, so excuse me if it seems a stupid question.

Tag must be attached to the ear, not the rack.
