Default How many bucks do you see, every year?

How many bucks do you see, from stand -last year, bigger than this one?

How many have you seen, on average, every year......bigger than this one?

Me.....I saw ONE buck in each of the last two seasons (1 in '06 and 1 in '07) bigger than this one.

Would this make a difference in whether or not you would take this buck, or not (If you hunted in such an area)?

For S's and G's.....how many bucks have you taken (with your bow) bigger than this one (score-wise).

Me.....2.

I will see anywhere from 6-10 deer larger than that a year on stand, some much larger. Getting them within bow range is a different story.

On stand while bowhunting seriously... 0 with shot oppertunity. 1 that would run pretty close with no shot.

I would say I see 7-10 bigger, and15-20 equal to it.

I hunt alot of areas...

...where a deer like that would get killed by most.

For S's & G's. Every buck I've taken w/ my bow is bigger than that one. Its just the way I've hunted, by the time I got into bowhunting (age 16, I was into trophey management)...

20-30 I would guess.

20-30?

Would this make a difference in whether or not you would take this buck, or not (If you hunted in such an area)?

EDIT.... Read question wrong. NO it would not make me change my mind.

If that was all I was seeing I would either hunt other places or would not even consider Trophy hunting.

I Love to Hunt Big Black Bears and have killed several Nice ones, but I didn't kill them in Southern IL.[8D]

There really is nothing wrong with just Deer hunting although when I do I tend to be a Doe Killer. I just can't bring myself to shoot the little Dinks.

How many have I killed bigger than the one in the picture? I'm honestly not sure, but I know it is several

On average I probably see 3-5 bucks bigger than that one in a given season.

I have killed 7 bigger than that one.

Yes, if I weren't seeing any bigger than that ever, it would change whether or not I would take a buck with a rack that size.
