Good thread! The hunters from Illinois, Iowa and Kansas will probably see the most. Anything less than a solid P&Y in those states is considered a dink!

About 15 years ago, my favorite hunting spot could be counted on to produce 4 or 5 close range sightings each season of P&Y bucks with most years offering one shooting opportunity. That ended after about 4 years because of land development and poaching, but I got one before it was over.

Over the last 3 or 4 years, I've seen a couple P&Y bucks--one of which was strolling through my front yard on a Sunday evening while I was watching the NFL! My most recent shooting opportunity at one came this year on a beautiful 140 class that I rattled into range. His vitals were clear of the branches when I released the arrow . . . if only I had taken into account the trajectory!!! [:@]
