RE: wondering what its like in the real world of hunting
125+ for me. They are there, but there are not too many of them where I hunt. In order to kill big mature deer, you have to hunt where they are. In some parts of WV there are some true monsters roaming. The hills are steep and the hollers are long and you could go days and weeks without even seeing a doe.
I hunt in an area where there are loadsof deer, but a nice buck is usually 90-110 inches @ 3.5 years old.
