RE: P & Y stats
Some more facts
1 1/4 is how close Hubert"Tiggy" Collins 203 3/8ths inch typical came from being the #1 archery typical world record.
4 to 6 PM more P & Y bucks are killed in that time period than any other 38%
Buffalo Count has 429 Entries in P & Y Top Dog!!!
159-1/8th Is the highest scoring typical from Georgia
191-7/8th Take the top ten typical bucks killed in Iowa and divide by 10 and 191-7/8th is the average.
96% hunters(tag a book buck)prefer Compound bows

RE: P & Y stats
I find those stats very interesting. I always wonder how far up the ladder they have to go to get those gems. I know there is extra info on the affidavit that is sent in to the P&Y clubbut what does one have to do to get access to such info...
In the late 90's I know the average distance that most P&Y's were killed was under 20 yards, something like 18 yards or so. Could technology ( better equipment and/or skill) be pushing the ability to make a killing shot farther than in days gone by or is it something else? Dunno
I thought the 38% (4-6 PM) evening kill figure is an interesting one. We have had this discussion before and as I recall most herefelt more big bucks were killed in the evening than in the AM. I guess I buck (no pun intended) that trend personally, over 70 % of the P&Y bucks I have killed have been in the AM. This makes me wonder...could the P&Ykill figure be higher in the 4-6 PM hours because more guys hunt the evening than do the AM? In other words during the rut I know a lot of guys that get home from work and head for the woods. They are unable to hunt the AM during the work week...Just thinking out loud.

Yes the 4 to 6 was shock to me also.
TV guys state 10-2 is the best time. I also found the stats for KY and IN to be very telling when a state is focused on good deer management

I too used to think that the AMs were better for big bucks. Now I am 50/50 with AM vs PM. I'm not sure why my success has shifted to the PM, might have something to do with warmer weather or maybe a change in stand location.

RE: P & Y stats
There seems to be some confusion as to where the buck was killed but most still think it came from the pennyrile wma in ky.
