My only problem (not killing the 200 inchers
) is I don't shoot Muzzy!

If you've got deep enough pockets you can buy 200 inchers down in south texas. It's the same pretty much every where though. Some outfitters will price your hunt according to how big a buck you want to kill....
To me though, that seems a little like cheating... But I was raised to know that money can't buy love.... and buying trophy buck is like paying for a woman's company... initially exciting, but will eventually feel hollow....

Perhaps enough money would buy an opportunity for a 200 incher in ranch type operations but for the average deer hunter, 200 inchers are not common despite what the tv, internet and magazines might want us to believe. I live here in Illinois and I seriously doubt I have ever spotted a 200 inch buck in 29 years of bowhunting. Well, maybe possibly sighted one but he was so far away it was hard to judge and he wasn't sighted again by me despite my best efforts. To me anything making P&Y is a very nice buck and anything over 150 is a monster because I only bowhunt. Not having access to thousands of acres doesn't help. Anyway.........getting a Booner buck whether he reaches 200 inches or not is a top goal of mine. Finding one is tough enough and arrowing one would be awesome.

Davoh.
To enter the "club" it must be a fair chase hunt. I'm just not an outfitter kind of guy really....
Would I go on an outfitted hunt? Probably, but no matter what I shot with afair chase outfitterit just wouldn't add up to the excitment of a good ole' buckeye slammer.
Easy now fieldmouse. It's the BIG 10 around here
