Sometimes not knowing is better than knowing......
Thanks quicksilver for stabbing me in the heart with the crushing stats below. I never saw them before today. Boy o boy Northern Virginia is a hotbed for big bucks! Maybe I should cross over to Maryland to hunt every now and then......The Northern Virginia stats when looked at the first time could make a grown man crumble. Not I, I will sleep in the woods in a pit blind to achieve success if necessary! I WILL kill the only P and Y buck to ever set foot on my hunting ground.........it may be when I am in heaven

Yes, you might as well give up hunting
I live in Ohio in one of the worst counties and we average less than 5 "trophy" bucks per year also. Of course, I know quite a few that have never been officially measured

I remember like 15-20 years ago when they brought in "Florida Strain" largemouths to VA and placed them in some of our reservoirs to get some bigger bass....maybe they could do that with say "Iowa strain whitetails" or "Wisconsin strain whitetails"

I guess I have to keep in mind that this is based on ENTRIES.... and I'm sure there are plenty of good ol' boys who could care less about paying $40 to have their name in a book (shame they don't submit them). And with VA having its own scoring system and big game contest, I'd suspect that a lot of them never get offically measured.
