Not far at all! I go through Murrysville everyday on my way to work. I do alot of archery hunting in the general area - some hoggs running around!!
Yes there are. Should have seen it-and maybe you did-but before archery became so popular and the place became built up, there were a lot more of them. Some monsters came out of Boyce park, unfortunately back then some where illegal. However, every year more than a few 140s plus have a tag put on them if the cars don't get them first.
I remember those days - it seems now that every other tree has a hunter sitting in a treestand with his bow!!
I seen a big buck a guy had up at Ultimate Outdoors on Rt. 286 just this past Tuesday - it was a HOGG!! Bases measured 6 1/2" around & it had 14 scorable points. Guy said he killed it near Penn Hills somewhere - it was a dandy!!
