Possible new PA Bow Non-typical...likely #2
I haven't seen anyone post about this yet for PA so I thought I bring it up. About two weeks ago, a local boy took a nonypical buck that might make the new new number one with a bow, if not definatley number two. It green scored 204 which beats the former number one at 203/ but I'm sure after a drying period, it will make number two which is currently 192.
The buck has 21 points, 19 which are scorable and has a 27 inch spread. It was taken about 2 miles from my house and borders some of our Outfitting leases. I'm sure we will have more about this buck soon enough. The rack is at our staff taxidermist and just yesterday I took had a picture of the mount with me holding it taken. I will post it soon.....already 90% of what we are hearing about the buck is rumors and lies.....it's amazing the jealousy and the stories people make up.....truly sad!
It's being mounted by Laylons Taxidermist in Montoursville and will be on display at Gander Mountain in Pennsdale.

Here's a bad shot of the rack, I'll post the one with me holding it as soon as it's available....it's more impressive in person.

It's a legit deer, fair chase and wild....my boss's hunting camp seperates where this buck was taken and where it was staying. I huge buck of this caliber crossed the road in front of my boss and the home range farmer has this buck on video and pictures of him on his farm. The buck was known in this area. The shooter, just pure luck, the buck was staying 4 miles over 2 ridges from where it was shot...It was taken on rt. 864 in Lycoming County near Picture Rocks.
There's so many rumors going around already about the deer. IT's amazingly sad how jealousy works....
One rumor like you said, an escaped captive deer, nope, even the local pen raiser around here verified it wasn't none of his.

Geez I guess I should have visited my sister more often when she lived in Picture Rocks! <img src=icon_smile_shock.gif border=0 align=middle>(Or you Rob for that matter)
I've been hearing rumors of this deer, glad to finally see it.
Of all the counties in PA that I picture a buck like that coming from somewhow Lycoming doesn't come to mind......what an animal.
I know its hard to tell by looking at a face, but is it just me or does that deer look 3.5yrs old tops? Not an old looking deer at all.
Do you know any specifics on the shooter? Just some in the right place at the right time guy or was he hunting this deer?

Matt/PA, just a lucky guy at the right place at the right time. Probably first time this buck stepped on this particular property. The bucks homerange was 4 miles and 2 ridges over...he was trailing a doe that happened this guys way....he was on the property to hunt doe and was allowed to take an 8pt or better out past his ears.
The shooter is a competitive shooter for a local shop and has been in the industry so he should have know better about quality pictures. All the pictures existing of this buck, simply suck.....I had one taken of me holding the mount which I'll post as soon as I have them developed, the same roll has my coyote and my neighbor/friends 135 class 10pt....
