I've been hunting in GA all my life and chances are good for a 100 to 120 where I hunt. But chances that a buck will actually net 125 to qualify P&Yare not great. Sure there are plenty ofdecent bucks in GA, but in most places you will not see 'em because they are hunted to death and nocturnal.
I have hunted all over GA and I still contend the chances are slim for P&Y. The facts are 1967 through 2005 in GA there have been 450 entries in P&Y records. That tells me that everyone in GA has little or no chance for a P&Y.

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.
there are some pretty big deer in georgia, or is just your area.
