WVBowhunter- I noticed that you are from Princeton. I killed the spike in Spanishburg on my familys farm. Spanishburg is only 5 minutes from Princeton. I hunt there in October and usually harvest 2 deer for the freezer. Once November gets here I spend the entire month in McDowell county. I hunt on Burke Mtn. and close to Gary #14. Both of these places have thousands and thousands of acres open to public hunting. The big coal companies own this land and they allow hunting. There are some real monsters in those 4 bow hunting only counties as I am sure you have heard. Below is a picture of our biggest so far. He scored 168 P&Y.
Here is another that scored 130"
