Been fortunate to hunt in some great locales over the years, I would dare say 100-150 while hunting. Have 6 on the wall that scored 140+ with the biggest at 159.

Jeesh sounds like your bragging grin.gif

I have probably seen a dozen or so that will go 140+ in the last 18 years. 2 hang on my wall, and another very large one crossed under my stand yesterday. Unfortunately, I was still walking in to the stand and could not get close enough to get a shot with the bow.

I've only seen 3 in my lifetime that would definitely go that high in score.

1 was in West Virginia, the day before the rifle season opened(sunday), while I was scouting for a treestand site. He looked like he was attached to that doe's rear end with 40 feet of chain...literally everywhere she went it loked like she pulled him around.

2 was on my way to hunt in West Virginia while traveling on the NY Sate Thruway(biggest buck I've ever seen alive).

3 was on property I have permission to hunt here in NY while I was scouting for another treestand site well before the season opened...This one I have a good chance of taking...he did not know I was there when I saw him.

Plenty of deer that would be over 100..but those are the only ones over 140.

I've hunted for 9 years and seen at least 10 that would go 140 or better. One of them was my dad's biggest deer which scored 148. I missed one this year and last year with my bow. I killed a deer that was almost 140, it scored 138. I've been exrememly lucky to see this many big bucks in so few years hunting.

Over 200 with out a doubt. We won't kill a buck off our land that is younger than 4 1/2 yrs old and less than 130 inches. I have 5 on my wall right now and one at that taxi from last year. He is the best one scoring 199 5/8 nt. He came from the same farm bowtech Steve has hunted with me. No matter where ya live and hunt if you can't pas up the little ones or even the pretty decent good ones you'll have to be darn lucky to ever kill a true trophy.
