Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting PA Rifle getting excited

Nice buck Ben. Didn't see a thing during legal shooting hours. I did see two does in the dark corner of a corn field after 5 PM during the second week and then later had 2 run across the road on my way in town for supper on the last Friday.

But nothing to shoot at and only saw 1 hunter in the woods. This on a farm enrolled in the PGC Farm Game project.

Great buck Ben!

That's a good one anywhere---Nice

Great buck, keystoneben!

Were you spreading manure today? Or did you miss all that?


You gotta post a pic of you and the deer laying on the ground or something nowadays to prove you aren’t a fake

Assuming you did kill that deer congrats though!

That’s a hell of a buck Ben! Had a decent season here. Killed a decent 8 the third day of the season, and my 9 year old shot a 6 point the second Tuesday. She killed a doe in archery season, so that left me free to work in reducing the doe population on the farms and surrounding public land. I’ve got 3 of them hanging in the walk in cooler, and will get to butcher them later this week when I get a couple days off.

Nice one, Ben.

I killed a doe the first day. Killed an 8 pt on Monday. Had my daughters boyfriend in the stand with me like last year(only his 2nd year hunting). Well just like last year he missed not one but 2 doe at 40yds!! Blew my ears out again firing inside the box stand and i got hit with the empty casings in the face twice. How he let them get so close I will never know(cell phone)? I was watching 3 other deer out the opposite window when he jumped up and yelled. Was fun nonetheless. We were on my Crawford Co property, plenty of deer. I couldnt imagine NOT being in the woods on the first day. Ive even gone without a rifle because I filled my tags in archery.

I bookended the rifle season when I killed my best buck to date in 2F on the evening of the first day. He was the third legal buck I saw that day, but not the biggest.


I shot a doe back on the farm in 2B on the last day rather early into the hunt.

Very nice!

Nice deer Gentlemen, congrats!

Getting Time, looks like you like those Amish Machine Guns, what chamberings?

Nice buck, GettingTime!

The 760 I used on the buck is in 30-06, and the doe I killed with a 7600 in 243. I do love the way they shoulder and carry in the “big woods”. I worked with some Amish when I was younger and they loved the Rem pumps in 270.

Thank you Skeen, I wish I wouldn’t have missed his dad at point blank range earlier that day, but I get excited.

Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen Amish use anything other than 30-30 and 30-06
