His First Buck!!!!

[timcalhoun]

He got this Monday morning in PA. I'm not sure who was more excited. He was jumping up and down and I think folks from the next county could hear him celebrating.

It's a 25-06. I bought another BDL stock from a member here and cut it down to fit him and kept the original for when he gets older. Loaded some softer loads with nosler partitions and they did a great job and dropped the deer within 10 yards.

I'm still waiting to bag my first buck. But congrats to him on his. That is a good start to a lifetime of hunting.

Congrats to the little guys! Where in PA did you hunt? I've done a lot of hunting in Somerset and Fayette COs. How is the herd after the point restriction? I hunted there the first year of the point restriction and it was a slaughter on the does. The first few years after it there was alot of complaining.

Congrats again!

We were in Bedford County (Everett/Bedford area) not far at all from Somerset. I have family in Somerset actually and hunt there too sometimes.

The new laws and point restriction has definitely affected the herd. Not near as many dear around in general, but it was simply getting out of control so it was probably a good thing to a degree. But I fear it has swung too far the other way...... I have heard many reports from friends who didn't see a deer the first morning at all. That is almost unbelievable since those same spots I use to see tons of deer (maybe mostly does but still tons of deer).

Its a small world. I grew up in Berlin and hunted a good bit at my grandfathers farm near Uniontown. The deer season here is way different than what i grew up with. You can shoot more deer in one day in TN than you could in two YEARS in PA. The limit here is simply mind-boggling to my old hunting buddy's back home.

Thanks for taking the boy out and keeping our sport alive!
