What are your chances of killing a p&y deer this coming season? I would say mine are around 50-60% being that there are a few around me, but I just don't know if I can out smart them. It has not happened in 17 yrs of bowhunting, but I hope this yr changes that.

I couldn't even venture a guess. I'll let you know at the end of summer. My hope is certainly that IF I kill one, that it would go P&Y. But I could get awfully itchy if a nice one but under the P&Y limit came by while I was holding my longbow. He could be in trouble.

I'm going to go with a 30% chance of getting a P&Y. I guess I could answer this question better when Mid October rolls around so I can see what sign the bucks are leaving to gather a guesstimate on there size without seeing them. Last year I had 5 different P&Y bucks roaming my woods, I only knew of 4 before I seen mine and shot him. I felt pretty confident last year on getting a P&Y buck, the sign in my woods was the best I've seen in about 10 years.
50% to me is pretty high percentages on getting a P&Y buck. Most of the P&Y bucks in my woods are 4.5+, that makes it that much tougher. If I had more 3.5 P&Y bucks around I'd have many more on the wall. Most of my 3.5's are right at 125" give or take so theyget the pass unless there no doughters.
Considering I've never seen one......or heard of anyone near me killing one.....I'd say the chances are GREATER of me getting T-boned on the way home from work tomorrow by a submarine.
what are your chances??? For real??
