It would be interesting if we could have everyone list their success rates on harvesting bucks the last 3-5 years. That would be a better determining factor, I think, of which team(s) will be in the running.

I've only been bow hunting here in Nebraska for the last two years and have shot 3 bucks. I'm not bragging, in fact it diminishes my success a little to say this, but where I hunt it is more a matter of when will I shoot a buck as opposed to 'if'. The buck to doe ratio is almost even, so calling and rattling works great. It's suburban, so they are accustomed to human scent and don't spook at it as readily. There are a lot (i've seen 4-6 this year) of decent (90"-100") eight pointers walking around with a smattering of 120" +/- thrown in for good measure. I guess there are some 140 inchers out there, but I'm probably not a good enough hunter to either find them or get them close enough for a shot. I saw one last year that was that big, by my guess, but I set my stand in the wrong place and didn't clear a shooting lane to the path he traveled that day. I only saw him that once, in late October.
