Most hunters around here kill every six pointer they see. You get lucky if someone passes up one and he becomes an 8.
I was specifically thinking about one of the guide services in north eastern NC in the Rocky Mount, or the Ahoskie area. Do you think that the chances are good for a good starter buck for a teenager? Eventually we'll get out to the mid west or the rockies for a big trophy, but right now we need to keep it close and simple. Thanks.
