How is it that you think P&Y sample size would be better? The min. score to make P&Y for a typ. whitetail is 125 and 155 for non-typical. You will not hear very many die hard hunters regard a 125" buck as a "Trophy Buck". Those stats I gave you are the same stats that Outdoor Life used in their July 2013 edition, which take all bucks harvested between 2009-2011(which is a large sample size) and figured what % of those deer(bucks) harvested made Boone and Crockett... They used Boone and Crockett scoring because of the higher scoring system.. P&Y scoring limits entries to archery kills only and B&C scores both animals killed with firearms and archery kills.

P.S. This is a relevant stat, due to the fact they count all bucks harvested between those years and how many were entered into B&C... P&Y would be limiting the sample size to archery kills only.
