That's like watching girls gone wild and saying the college boys at army have it made.

Just something I noticed while looking thru the entries.... I saw NC a lot more than you would lead us to believe. ;)

Better than Alcona County in MI:D
For some strange reason, maybe it's my age. I want to head back to the big woods of Northen MI.

I found a shed that is 1 in a million must would say, I don't really care. I want to hunt that big SOB;) Time is my only issue[:@]

Scott:

It's like going fishing in the lower Mississippi and catching a shark. It's SO MUCH of a big deal, here....that I'm sure most are measured and entered.

Can we say that for the big buck states.....where a qualifier is more prevailant?

You want to cite the "location" threads (although you start those, yourself, also;)) as "us" somehow diminishing others accomplishments.

What's your point with the above statement? Exactly?

A hunter in OH .......telling me how many big bucks we have, here........:D

Go back and start at the beginning of this thread .....then come back. You can figure my odds from the data I provided. In fact.....use the stats from the horn playboy......and we'll use those.

Have to agree with you there GMMAT, I know of several that were taken around my hometown in IL last year that were not entered. I would venture to guess that most of them taken in the area are never entered.

Take 2 deep breaths Mr. Defensive... My post was directed towardsGary.....I never told you anything in that post, let alone how many big bucks you have there..

I did in fact tell Gary about a few you used to have walking around NC though;)

I hear ya Scott. Whitetail Freaks is HOUNDING me about wanting to come here and shoot a season's footage.

The difference between me and a lot of hunters (it seems) is I just don't care enough about shooting "big bucks" to travel to do so. I'll take the best of what my woods has to offer and be fine with that.

The ONLY things standing between me and a NORTH CAROLINA P&Y buck is likely 2 seasons, countless road hours going 4 hours one-way....and about $2,500.

Yeah....I said it.

I JUST got back from getting a haircut. My barber's an avid deer hunter....so (him knowing me) I posed this question to him.....

What would it take for me to kill a P&Y qualifying buck in NC. Open ended.....just like that. He cited the above criteria.....knowing how much time I have to devote to it.

As hard as it is for some to believe......it's just not that important, to me. I LIKE my location!:) People who don't (or don't like their chances at the caliber deer they're after).....travel hours to hunt.....even cross state lines.

I don't set, as a barometer of my hunting prowess.....the number of inches of antler the deer I kill have. If I did.....I'd pony up and pay the piper....and the gas man.

No interest. None, at all.

Was it a good haircut?
