No offense to the poster but please,you are from central Illinois.To make a blanket statement such as you have is not realistic for those of us that do not live in such prolific area's.You cannot kill what is not there and for someone else to assume they know some one else's woods and what is possible there is a bit on the arrogant side.If 25% of your buck population would make Pope and Young and 2% of mine would who has a more realistic chance of killing a qualifier given equal amounts of time spent in the effort to take such an animal.
There is no one in my area who consistently kills bucks that score over 115 with bow or rifle and I know and am friends with or am acquantainces with the most dedicated hunters in my area.
