What are your chances of killing a p&y deer this coming season? I would say mine are around 50-60% being that there are a few around me, but I just don't know if I can out smart them. It has not happened in 17 yrs of bowhunting, but I hope this yr changes that.
Well if yours are 50-60% then I'd say mine are nearly the same... although considering that you'll be deer hunting while I'm duck hunting I guess mine are 25-35%..... but I haven't shot a buck since I was in 9th grade... I lack patience I suppose....

Not real good. I'd say 5% - 10%

Slim to none...In over 40 years of deer hunting I don't believe I have ever seen more than 5-6 max, had a great chance of taking one with my '83 Grand Wagoneer back in the 90s, but I passed...

Thefunny thing is, doesn't bother me one bit, I just love being out there...I will say that the odds of me taking a few does is very good!!!

The lord might take me home tomorrow but if he lets me hunt I will kill a buck that will net over 125. I guess that would be 100%. I'll seeyou guys on the contest scorecard this fall.

yeh I said 50-60% but this for a 125" buck, anything more maybe a stretch, not b/c they are not here, just not good/smart enough to get it done. Im just speaking the truth, there will need to be some luck involved and a few blessings sent!!

I have a great chance every year at seeing big bruiser bucks, but getting them in shooting distance is another story! I had my chance last season at a buck of a lifetime and choked on the shot, to low! Good times!
