Pennsylvania Brute!!!!

How many times have you ventured into a new area and wondered at what was living in the area and some of the local bucks in that area? A few weeks ago I came across just that, an area that looked to me would harbor some mature, gray faced whitetails. A big woods area located on the public forests of Pennsylvania containing 1000's of acres of land infested with laurel thickets, clearcuts and steep sidehills. Yesterday morning dawned wet and rainy, a perfect day for deer movement. I decided to head into the "new" area to see if I could get lucky and maybe get a look at a buck. I was sneaking along the trail when I noticed a deer standing, browsing at about 150 yards to my left. I slowly reached for the camera and began snapping some photos, not realizing the size of the buck I was about to photograph. As he stepped out I couldn't believe at what I was looking at! A true big woods giant 8 point with sweeping brow tines and massive antlers! I watched him for a total of 4 minutes before he decided to lay down within the thicket, all the while never knowing I was there. I waited nearly an hour for him to stand back up and maybe get some more photos but the pouring rain and camera gear changed those plans. I feel fortuate enough just to get even a few pics of him as we all know it is rare to even see these guys on their feet in daylight hours...

them are some great pics and would be an awesome experience for sure. He is a brute for sure

Thats a good one Cory! Goodluck seeing that guy again in the coming months.

good luck getting on him when season comes

nice looking buck....

Great Buck

Thats a stud man.

Good lookin buck!!

Dang Bro!!! great great encounter there. I am sure he is making your hit list for the upcoming season. Thanks for the pictures and the story.

Good luck with him this season. A definite shooter

That is awesome. Congrats on getting those very cool pictures. He has great mass, I couldn't stop looking at his mass all the way through his beams, it actually look heavier at the end of the beam than it looks at his bases. Hope you get a crack at that legend of the mountain. If possible I would love to see some pics out of velvet if you get any.

Seeing some big ones coming out of PA nowa days. Good luck to you PA guys this year.

Great pics and great story. Thanks for sharing!

WOW! I'm totally impressed!!! That's a monster! How'd you keep the camera still? I'd be shaking in my boots!

I hope I can find me a nice Pennsylvania hog like that this season...

nice pics cory...i am still waiting for some brutes to show up on my trail camera.

great buck

GOTA LOVE THOSE PA BRUTES WHY HUNT ANY WERE ELSE

We dont have those here in Oklahoma because everyone is too proud of their forked horns and basket racks. Enjoy your crop!!!
