Pope and Young ??

[buffhntr]

If you have killed a deer that made pope and young I would like to know where, what time of the year and time of day, what the deer scored, and distance shot. This is for nothing more than to see what time of day and what time of the year in my area produce the best oppertunity for record book deer. Thanks for your help

Go read the P&Y statistics, that's all the information your seeking. The percentages show that most entries are shot in the evening.

I haven't had mine measured yet by Dave Boland (Pope And Young measurer) but it needs to exceed the 60 day drying period first. I measured mine the other night and it scored 138 6/8 net greenscored. I'm very sure it will be close to that, i've measured alot of whitetails through out the years so i should be close to that! The bad thing is all of the others were every one elses bucks[:@]! I shot it on October 24th at about 6:15 pmat 17 yards!
