Two nice Bucks
 

Two nice ones nearby home here in northeastern PA. Second one is a real beaut!
.

The texture in each, makes them look much like a painting.

Deer season started here today (all be it antlerless only this month) , it was 72 degrees and raining at 5:30AM so I passed .

Those will definitely get your blood going Frank. Looks like they are from the same gene pool, high and somewhat tight racks. Would love to catch that second one below my tree stand.

Both pics were taken at longish distances using a cell camera and I cropped/expanded each before posting. Taken by my wife's nephew yesterday morning.

Real nice buck Frank, hope you get him.

PA's antler restrictions and increased harvest numbers of antlerless deer has really improved the bucks. I bow hunted Potter County back in the 1980's and if you killed a 125 Lb buck with four tiny points that was a nice deer. Folks were up in arms about it but the proof is in the pudding.

BINGO!! Antler restrictions led directly to our buck quality increasing. the "I can't eat antlers" crowd needs to keep quiet and allow the adults to manage the game. :clap:

On our property we fill as many doe tags as we can and target buck that are 2 1/2 years old and older.
