I've been bowhunting for 4 yrs and have had 3, maybe 4, P&Y whitetails within bow range. Who knows, there could be many more that have been in bow range but I didn't see them because I was "resting my eyes" . All P&Y that I've had in range have been in the past 2 yrs. And none have offered a decent shot. I guess that's why we keep going into the woods day after day.
