RE: Hunt By Numbers.
Fran, in all seriousness, I think most of us know, and you and I especially, that the chances of finding, getting permission to hunt, and legally bagging a5.5 year old deer in PA with a bowprobably rank up there in odds of winning the lottery. That's PowerBall, not the PA lottery too.
Sure there are some out there, but the accessibility and likelihood that a buck of that age would spend any time on his feet during daylight hours are very remote. Bucks of that age do get shot here. Generally by a gun hunter after being pushed from one super reclusive hiding spot and heading to another.
Anomolies do happen, but I'm not holding my breath on those and will continue to hunt the deer that I scout, see, and know exist.
