That stats tell me experience, experience, experience. Oh yea and more experience! Thanks for sharring Schultzy. Does it give any new info on the top states and counties? Trying to go out of state for the first time this year. Leaning toward OH or KY.
Yes....I wonder what % of guys enter their animals in any record book at all. I wasn't talking specifically about P&Y....this thread isn't about net scoring. :p
I only entered my first but would have entered more out of respect for the deer if it wasn't so much hassle. I'd like to see it free if you didn't post your name. I've got perhaps 25-30 that would score but I'm not after personal glory but would like to see the deer recognized and remembered. My first is below and is my alltime favorite.
