Most common Illinois hunters are not lucky enough to hunt the quality managed lands that are shown on T.V.

I hunt what is considered to be "prime" deer land. I have never harvested a P&Y deer and this is my 9th season with a bow. As a matter of fact no one has ever been lucky enough to geta P&Y buck with a bow on our farm. We see them but they are that big for a reason.

Shotgun hunting is a different story, they run for their lives and it becomes easyif you are lucky enough to be sitting where they run through. Also alot of it has to do with the management andhunters passing up smaller bucks.

So no it doesn't pour monsters all the time, but it sprinkles alot.
