carlson77 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Hi,I am new to the forum today. Returned from Afghanistan in 08 in time for the PA rifle season. Had good luck with a buck both in PA and Ohio on two family farms. Army hunting trips to other countries have greatly reduced my hunting time here over the past nine years. Just this year got into food plots. Have used Imperial whitetail with what looks like great results as well as Tecomate Max Forage, Monster Mix, and some generic seed from the feed mill. Just clover. Imperial looks to be drawing them in OK but was curious about what others are using within a 200mi radius of Pittsburgh. Another question is about the attached photos. This is a guy I saw last year and never had a good shot on. I have 6 cameras on each property and seem to be holding some monsters. This guy has grown over the past couple weeks very nicely (see the dates) was lucky to get some good different angles on him, any ideas as to how this guy would add up score-wise or if he appears to have reached his max potential? Absolutely planning on taking him this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camoman1 Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Wow thats a nice deer! Im no good at scoring deer but the best way would be to whack em and find out... Welcome to the forums! I think you will like it here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tominator Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Wow. That deer must be on your PA ground. Ain't nothing that big in Ohio. Gary Ault is a genius. I'd guess that pig is approaching Booner status. I'd guess 170's once the velvet comes off. Wouldn't be surprised if he hits 180. Looks like he's trying to grow a G-5 on the left which makes him a typical 12? Exceptional deer. Good luck tagging him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlson77 Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Sorry dont know of Gary Ault. This actually is an eastern Ohio deer and they are for the most part making everything Ive been seeing at the PA farm look small. Look at the last in the series of photos, this deer has a kicker that has some junk coming off of it (Im pretty sure all three photos are the same deer given the timing) making him much better than a 12 but non-typical I would say.

okiedog Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 This actually is an eastern Ohio deer and they are for the most part making everything Ive been seeing at the PA farm look small. I had no doubts that deer was from Ohio, thats the state to hunt. Great looking deer and welcome to Realtree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
