Default RE: Archery Buck of a Lifetime (your area)

Catskill mountains,New York State.I have bow hunted for 12 years and between a ton of scouting and a ton of hunting I have never seen a 120 class deer on the hoof.Two close friends of mine,one deceased are and were two of the best bow hunters that I am aware of in my area,in their entire lives including rifle hunting each of them has shot 2 bucks that would go 120 to 125.
Once every few years a rifle hunter hunting way back in the mountains kills a 140 incher.Hopefully with the newly imposed antler restrictions as of last year we will be looking at a greater quantity and quality of increasing larger bucks over the next 3 years or so.
I know you wouldn't live in an area like mine Troy.We have had this discussion,but it is home and the roots are deeply planted.
