Shed hunter finds 200" dead head in Pennsylvania

[C-Money]

Not sure if this buck has been on here yet. A shed hunter found him last March. Since the antler point restrictions went in place 20 years ago, Pennsylvania has began producing some giant deer. It has also allowed youth hunters to have an easier time filling their buck tag.

I read that article last Spring. What a beast he must've been.

I wonder if they have ran genetic tests on it to see if it was a local deer or a high fence.

Amazing buck if it was free range.

Pennsylvania is one of the top prospects to grow enormous wild bucks.  The problem is letting them age, as PA used to kill 90% of the bucks, 90%+ of which were yearlings, over a 3 day season.  Much of the state is a limestone bedrock so incredible mineral resources to grow bone, unlimited high energy food in predominantly oak woodlands, and valley bottoms covered in corn fields.  Throw in mild winters, and the sky is the limit in terms of potential.  These are some of the same resources that make PA the #1 state for hunter-killed black bears over 500 lbs, with several harvested over 800 lbs.
