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)...

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.
