RE: What's your area/woods capable of?
My woods are capable of produceing P&Y caliber deer, although holding out for one isnt a realistic goal unless you want to eat tag soup often. I saw a 140 last year, a friend shot one around 140 and another in the low 120's, but last year was a very good year. My buddy who got the 120 has hunted for 17 years and that is his best ever.
An average "good" deer in our neck of the woods is around 100-110. I would be very hard pressed to pass up a 110, although i know there are better. Hopefully this i can seal the deal if it happens again.
