You're looking at this in too broad a sense, Gary....even narrowing it down to state/counties (as far as I'm concerned, personally.....but I won't speak for Fran). We've got river-bottom areas of my county that I know hold bigger deer than what I see. We've got less densely populated areas (deer-wise)very near me that I don't have access to). Conceded. I don't have the desire/inclination to go there and hunt them...when I have great hunting ground, right here by the house.

You've also NEVER heard me complain about my hunting grounds. Never.

I answered the question with the assumption of how it pertained to the grounds I can actually hunt. What the guys are doing on lands I can't/(don't have the desire to)access....or what they're hunting.....I can't speak to.

I stated what a "good deer" for where I hunt is (IMO). That would be 100"+.

I've heard it said here, before....and I believe it to be true...

If you're taking the best representative deer your woods have to offer.....on a consistent basis.......then you should be proud.
