Just because you are with an outfitter, doesn't guarantee the kill. Most bowhunting outfits aren't much higher than 50% success rate. Anyone who shoots a P&Y deer has my respect, I don't really care if it was outfitted or not. The question almost sounds like the deer are supposed to know they are on the property of an outfitter and therefore are easier to kill. If it was that easy, you would see 100% success rates and all of them would be book deer.
I would say 50% is pretty good odds..... That's basically a book buck every other year.
How often does the average hunter tag a P&Y cailber animal?What do you suppose the % is for one to shoot a P&Y on their own each year? I would say no where near an every other year average like you posted.
Don't take me wrong, like I said there is nothing wrong with an outfitted hunt, it looks like fun and you can bet your arse ifa buddyof mine had a hot stand out of state I would sit in it [8D]
