TreeStandBowHunter Posted November 2, 2005 Report Share Posted November 2, 2005 Just got off the phone with my Dad. He works in Hershey and said that he was told by two trusted sources that a big buck was taken with a bow near one of the Hershey Foods wharehouses. According to him it was a legal kill and Hershey gives out permits to bowhunters to hunt on Hershey Foods grounds. I am seeing if any of you locals heard about this. I want to see a picture of this thing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been seeing a big buck up on that hill that is in front of Hotel Hershey going down that highway in the back part of the park. Those woods that surrond Hershey and the swatty there have big buck in them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest adamo Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: Hershey, PA Bow Kill??? 173 score Don't know where in PA this buck was killed, but here is a link to another forum with a pic of a huge PA buck killed recently. http://www.iowadeer.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=Trophies;action=display;num=1130804635 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeStandBowHunter Posted November 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: Hershey, PA Bow Kill??? 173 score That's a good point adamo. That may possibly be the same deer seeing how they estimate it around the same score I heard that deer was. I don' know. The next time I talk to my Dad I will see if he knows anymore about it. All I know was that the deer was taken on Hershey Foods property and it was a legal kill. Hershey is known for big buck due to the amount of farms in the area but a 173 buck is usually not the case. I am anxious to hear the story and see the picture if it is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted November 3, 2005 Report Share Posted November 3, 2005 Re: Hershey, PA Bow Kill??? 173 score I just got off the phone with Hershey Foods. They told me the only way to hunt on their property is, you have to be apart of the TRUST, or you have to be an employee of Hershey Foods. They do not hand out or sell permits to the public to hunt on their property. When I asked about a very big buck that was recently taken, she tried to avoid the question. Then I was asked where this info came from. I just said the internet! LOL! So then I asked one more time, was there or was there not a big buck just recently taken on Hershey Foods property? All she said was, "Yes!" She wanted my name and address, but I declined! LMBO! But she needed a last name and zip to log the call, that I gave her.

At least I know now that I wasn't just passing bum scoop. Usually my Dad has trusty sources when it comes to deer hunting. Hey John, you know this area. When your going down the back part of the park on that highway there, you know the big hill on the right hand side that goes up to the police academy and the hotel, my Dad has been saying for a while that he was seeing a BIG buck up there but could never see how big it was because it was always to far up the hill and either too dark or not light enough out. He is betting that was the deer because he hasn't seen it for a few weeks now and according to him, he was seeing it on a regular basis as was other guys.
