Cheswick, PA, hunter nails 'triple trophy' for big game

[left-of-center2012]

Nathan Sipes, 24, of Cheswick harvested an eight-point buck in Upper Burrell (PA) during archery season Nov. 15, the first of three days for hunting on a Sunday in Pennsylvania. Sipes took his first black bear the following Sunday in Forest County near Marienville (PA). And he bagged a spring gobbler May 1 in Upper Burrell (PA).

“It’s unique for sure,” said Seth Mesoras, a Pennsylvania Game Commission spokesman for the southwest region. “To harvest all three animals in the same season is something to be proud of.” Getting all three is known as a ‘triple trophy’, Mesoras noted. After years of debate, the state permitted hunting on three Sundays of the year. “The opportunity was presented this year and this person took advantage of the opportunity to hunt.”

Sipes, a steamfitter, works six days a week, sometimes more. The three Sundays of hunting gave him more time in the field that he would otherwise not have had, he said. Sipes did not go after the triple trophy, although, once he got his first bear outside of Marienville, the pressure was on. “I was in shock,” he said. “I never thought I’d get a bear or all three in the one year.”

1. So just a trophy.... Send the meat to the starving Kilschers.

Though the millionaire Jewel might airlift them supplies if they needed.

3. I'll be impressed when he hunts razorbacks with a Bowie knife . . .

Give the animal a fighting chance, then we'll talk about "trophies."

4. What a f'n sick and twisted egotistical bastard. I hate trophy hunters. A beautiful, 8- point buck?

Around here, we shoot with our Nikons.

5. Deer are 'harvested' to prevent destroying farm crops

Plus, hunting is a sport.
“Heading into fall 2020, there are about 11.4 million deer hunters in the United States.”

6. Unless they are hunting for food. .I have absolutely no use for them. Killing is NOT sport, no

matter HOW one dresses it up.
