    Have you ever shot a buck scoring 100" or higher? Yes
    How many years had you been bow hunting when you did? No idea. I've been killing critters with a bow since I was able to pull one back. But only started deer hunting 'seriously' the last decade.
    How many bucks over 100" do you see in a typical season? At least a half dozen. I saw four in two hours last season. (one 110", one 140", one 150" and one 120"... I killed the 110" one.... lol!)

    You know, a survey like this, you can really paint a picture of locations where you stand a good chance of killing or at least seeing better bucks.

    You can draw possible connections, but let's be honest...some hunters either have prime spots or have prime skills. I know guys that have one or the other and see more bucks then they know what to do with in some of the "worst" areas :D

    Ty.."You can draw possible connections, but let's be honest...some hunters either have prime spots or have prime skills"

    Agreed, and if you don't have a prime spot and don't have prime skills....well then life is hard in the big buck woods. I don't have a prime spot AND I don't have prime skills. :)

    I'm too lazy to copy and paste, Ryan:D I shot one over 100", and that was my 2009 archery buck. My 2010 rifle buck came close, but fell short a few inches. I had been bowhunting for 12 years, most of which I didn't know what I was doing (still don't but man, did I REALLY not know what I was doing through high school). Since graduating college (2007), and learning more, I see about 2 100"+ a year. Sometimes, it's only one, sometimes, it's more (like two seasons ago when I saw 4).
