PAHICK-- You put up that post while I was typing. So true about the big deer in PA years ago. I have old Game News from the sixties, and there are photos from "Little deer" counties that have some good sized deer. I think the increase in big racked deer started showing up when Archery was extended past one month. I have heard so many times "I went to bow hunting because I wanted a challenge". The odd thing is that these same guys almost never got a deer, big or small, until they took up bowhunting. What the younger generation does not understand is that the older a deer gets, the harder it is to legally kill it.
