Title: Timing is everything (PA buck pic)
Post by: Follower on November 07, 2009, 12:02:00 AM
I travelled home to NW Pennsylvania to hunt for a week as I try to do every year.  Went the last week of October this year instead of waiting for November.  It was a great hunt but overall we just didn't see many deer moving.  But as you guys know, - all that can change overnight.  And it did.  My buddy Mark saw 9 bucks the last two days and shot this 138" buck in a spot we had invested several days in just last week.  Hopefully Mark will get on here and tell the story of this brute.

You sure you measured that guy right or didn't miss adding in a number or two? Looks a heck of a lot bigger than 138 with all that mass and length!

Thats a beauty, I am from NW Pa. and we are seeing some huge racks but tough hunting. I have missed a ten point and my son missed one close to the one pictured. I am seeing a lot of smaller bucks, have probally seen close to a dozen bucks in the last week and only two legal shooters.

Post by: Steve Kendrot on November 08, 2009, 06:31:00 AM
Wow. Nice buck. From everything I hear, I didn't think there were any deer much less trophy bucks left in PA. Is this in an antler restriction area?

Very nice PA buck.  They don't get much nicer than that.

Post by: waknstak IL on November 08, 2009, 07:35:00 AM
That deer only scored 138" for real? It sure looks a lot bigger in the pics. Nice buck.
Title: Re: Timing is everything (PA buck pic)
Post by: Follower on November 08, 2009, 07:33:00 PM
This buck was killed in Crawford County - northwestern PA.  We always had good bucks in this part of the state but the antler restrictions put into place several years ago has really improved the age structure of the herd.  Crawford and the surrounding counties require 4 points on a side for a legal buck.  Mark is a former P&Y measurer so the 138 is a pretty good number.  

Marks had a problem getting on the site so be patient for the story.
