New PA State Record Archery Non-typical: Updated page 1 & 3
Hey guys, I haven't seen anything here on this, but came across it on a PA site.
http://www.mcall.com/sports/outdoors/all-s-recordbuck0205.6231946feb05,0,2046559.story
If this was posted already I apologize, but this deer deserves some recognition.
Rybo, have you heard about this buck?
The article says the buck was around 4 1/2 years old. It's great to see the potential our state has.
Edit: The buck was officially scored by a panel of 3 Boone and Crocket Club scorers and he officially scored 211 6/8" gross and 208 1/8" net breaking a 20 year old record of 203 3/8".
Here are a couple of other pics.
And the old record:

RE: New PA State Record Archery Non-typical
Yea, but I don't remember the whole story. I think it was just a rather simple guy was out hunting and killed the deer. I don't think he'd been chasing it for years or anything. I've seen other pictures and if I remember correctly he was using a bow that looked ot be 20+ years old. Kind of neat. I believe it was shot in westmoreland co.
I have a newspaper clipping at work that has that one and another near 200" buck that was shot with a gun. I actually heard about the 200"er from an old buddy, but didn't put much stock in him. Turns out he was dead on.

RE: New PA State Record Archery Non-typical
If you check the article it says it was shot near South Strabane Township, which I have no idea where that is and I grew up in Allegheny County. He had heard of the buck, but never saw it until the day he shot it. The farmer had only seen it maybe once a year during the rut at night.
It was shot with a Hoyt Provantage, Easton Aluminum arrows and a Wasp 4 blade broadhead. It looks like that old stuff still does the job on the big ones too.
Notice what the guy with the old record is wearing (GregH).

RE: New PA State Record Archery Non-typical
So if it is indeed a potential state nontypical record, what is the estimated score or score for the matter?
It sure is a hell of a whitetail. Odd there isn't more about it.
