I would say top end bucks in my area would be above 160. For sake of argument 'my area' is about a 8 mile diameter circle. Nontypicals are really rare where I hunt but 10-20 miles west or north of my hunting areas sees a 200"er (nontyp.) fall almost every year. In 8 years of hard bowhunting I have seen three live 'for sure' booners in 'my area' and they have all escaped me. I have seen perhaps half a dozen more that were borderline (around 170) in the same time frame and been fortunate enough to get one of them. All together I have seen probably a dozen 160"+ deer in eight years in my area. One this year is all. (Thank god for luck!)

I spent a TON of time in the woods my first 5 years too, 60-100 days a year so I believe my statistics can be trusted quite a bit. Every 160+ deer I have seen has been a typical, the biggest one was havested by a hunter after two seasons of my futile chasing and grossed 196" or so. I have only seen two nontypicals in the same 8 year span, in MY AREA, that would go in the 150s, one of which my brother took.
