Where we hunt in western Virginia is certainly capable of producing B&C and P&Y bucks. At our hunt club there are 4 people who hunt 3 of whom are ages 19-22 and my father who is 48. When we were younger and my father and grandfather were trying to turn us on to hunting, we shot pretty much any antlered animal and didn't really take many does. (Even took one that went about 140) Even then, however, we still would usually take a buck a year or so that would score 110 or so. The past 5-6 years, however, we have practiced selective harvest getting very strict over the past 2 years or so. Since then, we have seen several bucks that would score probably 130-135 and were only 3.5 years old. With our strict adherence to QDM principles, we can definitely produce B&C/P&Y bucks. While we may not have bucks running around that score 175, the 140-160 range is definitely a goal that is being achieved as we speak
