RE: Top end bucks in your area
My area is very similar to yours Greg. I have seen 2 bucks in the 180's that were killed by neighbors. I have killed 2 that gross in the 160's. There has been 237+ and 266+ nontypicals killed within a few miles of where I hunt. Every year there are a couple if notmore 170+ typicals killed. 130-140's are common but not everyone kills one.
My taxidermist friend has 17 bucks scoring over 170" in his shop this year. The most ever.
