Why do you think the P & Y minimum is much lower than the B & C minimum? Because older deer are harder to get close to with a bow.
I hear some of these guys say they've shot their share of P & Y bucks. How many is that? Were they all shot with a bow? There is a difference.
GregH,
Pope and Young minimum islower because they are a private club and that's what they decided to set their minimum at. Boone and Crockett is also a private club and sets their minimum higher. They also accept bow kills, infact they accept ANY form of weapon as long as it's legal in the state it's being used in. So it could be said that it's harder to break into the B&C club with an archery tackle killthan it isforthe P&Y club.
BTW when someone says "theykilled their share of
P&Y bucks"they
are referring to archery equipment as that's the only equipment P&Y recognizes.
