In my area definately working...Killed a 7-1/2 year old 13 pointer this year that dressed out at 187 lbs with a 142 gross score. I love AR!
That is very rare in Pa. I talk to a WCO a few weeks ago and he told me that Does live on average to be alot older than bucks. He said they rarely find bucks older than 4 1/2 and see alot of 6 to 7 year old does.
