RE: what are the chances?
Depends what you mean by record deer, the next world record..well I think it could come almost anywhere but I do live 1 hour from where the current record holder was taken by Milo Hansen. I also hunt an hour where last fall a 16 year old arrowed the number 2 typical P&Y deer. So yes I think I could live in an area where I may see the next record.
Now if your talking about making B&C book then I definately feel confident in my area for connecting with a book whitetail & mule deer, you betcha!
