Hoyt03 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 These are pretty nice bucks for this area. I would love to be able to let them grow a few more years, but around here that just not going to happen unless they are extremely lucky and nocturnal. The one looks like he has a split brow making him a 9, from that angle you can't see his entire right side. What do you think all 2.5 yr olds? I'm thinking these are the bucks I had on film last winter and they were all just fork horns and one was a 5pt. They did alot of growing.

Guest bowhunter56 Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Yes, those are some nice buck for our pa. area... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemodeerhuntersneighbor Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 The one in the last pic that is broadside in front of the salt lick is definitely older than 2.5. Personally I think all of them are at least 3yr olds and he might be 4. Great Pics!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toddyboman Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 some more age would do those guys wonders. But I understand what your saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 The last buck pic where the deer has the split brow, that buck looks like a 3.5 year old or better to me. Looking at the body, he is a mature deer. Those would probably all be shooters in these parts too. Nice pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 thanks for the input guys, I was kinda thinking the same thing about that last pic with the split brow, I was kinda thinking he might be 3.5. He might be the one I go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Finn Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Those are pretty nice bucks. Gotta tell ya, I'd like to say I'd let them go, but doubt I could..... After another look, I'm shooting those if given the chance. My area doesn't allow me to be that much of a trophy hunter. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the body, he is a mature deer. Those would probably all be shooters in these parts too. Nice pics. I'd go for the 3.5 year old with the split brow also. Nice deer and pics. Very healthy looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhine16 Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Those are some pretty good bucks. Could use some growth, but i definitely understand what you're saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8ptbuckpa Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 The best thing the PGC has done was the antler restriction and it sure paying off good luck this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoyt03 Posted August 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 yeah i'm starting to see the AR pay off, most of these bucks were forks last year (i think) that got saved by the regs and grew nicely. I have a 5 pt though that did absolutely nothing except get a little bigger(still a 5) I have new pics from the other day and the 3 in the pic picked up another buddy who is just as big.
