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.
