Awesome buck, congrats! Even more special when it’s off public land and off of sign you scouted for and found yourself. That’s a great feeling as a deer hunter!
Congrats on your monster whitetail. My family has a cabin in 2G near Renova, it's beautiful country. My brother hunted behind the property this year but didn't see any buck just does. Looks like he needs to get away from the people more. I like your style of hunting.
I hunt out of a saddle. I use a modified Hawk helium to one stick up the tree and then a platform when at height and then rappel down. I believe I was only at maybe 15’ for this hunt.
Man that's awesome! What a story. On it's own that's an awesome PA buck. But it's not just a buck. It's an archery, public land, 2G mountain buck! Hell yeah! That's a well earned deer.
Would love to hear more about your camping experience on state forest up there. That's my goal this coming year.
