Pennsylvania bucks
Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2021 9:26 pm
I hope everyone has had a healthy and hopefully a bountiful season.
Here’s a few of my buck harvest photos from 2016-18. My 2018 buck was only holding onto one side when I shot him. When I came up on him after he expired I gave a tug on his lonely antler and it came off. The other side appeared to have came off around a few days or more prior.
I was unable to hunt 2019 due to being on an extended stay in Poland thanks to Uncle Sam. Poland is a very beautiful country and I’d definitely recommend anyone to go.
This past season my father and I both connected on a doe and buck each, my father with his biggest buck to date. We’re fortunate to have good public hunting land local to our area.
My go to deer rifle is a Browning stainless stalker, it’s chambered in .280 Remington. Every round fired down range out of this has been hand loaded off my fathers Rock Chucker. My backup rifle is a synthetic Remington 7600 Carbine in 30-06. Don’t get me wrong I love the Walnut stocked blued rifles of old. Of course I also am quite enamored with the rifles that all us forum members are here for. Here comes the but, Pennsylvania big game hunters can’t use Semi-auto’s. I’m crossing my fingers the game commission will authorize the semi’s. If and when, I’ll finally be able to use a spring pole to knock a whitetail down!
Keep your powder dry fellas
