I am going to shock the world and kill a P&Y PA, VA, and NC deer.[8D]

People are running around in circles on this. Antlers only? yes, they are bigger where more food, genetics, and age allow them to do so. Whether that be outfitters land in NC or managed land in IL.

Jeff, that situation isn't all that uncommon. (1.5 yo biggest deer all year) I could name you 10 farms around here where guys only see bucks like that as their biggest (KY). Some areas don't produce like ones ten minutes down the road....main reason imo? The guys that only see bucks like this hunt in an area where any and all bucks are shot....the area 10 minutes down the road, people hold out for bigger animals.


Theoretical question for anyone to take a stab at, if IL hunters swapped places with PA hunters....10 years from now, what will it be like? PA the new IL and IL now only small younger deer? It's all in the hunters as a massIMO.
