hunt4hobbie say`s.....

In 12 years I have taken right a 60 deer with a bow and five of them were P&Y
Well heck, I think half of `em are born with P&Y racks in Illinois!


In 30 years of bowhuntin`, 82 for me, including 3 P&Y. All three from Illinois.

Big Country, Youre right I think more than half are born with P&Y racks. I will see between 5 and 10 P&Y deer a year getting them in range is a different story. It helps alot when you get to hunt next to a game perserve that is 1800 acers that dosent get any hunting presure only trail walkers. The state took all that land for a bike trail.
