RE: what are your chances??? For real??
In GA, chances are slim to none.
In Illinois where I hunt, very high I do believe. I've had P&Y bucks in range the last two years, just couldn't quite close the deal right so I didn't shoot. This year instead of the usual 6 day bowhunt, I'll be there (Lord willing that it) at least 15 days bowhunting.
I also plan to hunt 7 days of muzzleloader, too, but that don't count for P&Y.
