RE: Western PA Buck
Thanks everyone.
Whitetailblaster, dressed he only weighed around 115. He was not a big body deer at all. His neck and face were very skinny. Not sure if that was because of the arrow in his neck or what.
Mauser06, I was hunting in Westmoreland county. I grew up in Lower Burrell and was hunting about a 15 minute drive from there. All public property to hunt. One side of the road is posted and the area I hunt is all public ground and this buck came out of there. I knew the guys on the private land were going to drive so I thought I would go back to my morning stand and hope they pushed something to me. This guy came in from behind me.
The road hunters kill me. I couldn't believe how many trucks I saw driving up and down the road all morning. Same ones, over and over. Probably the same guys complaining about the lack of deer and big bucks.
Good luck to you. Where about are you hunting???
