Re: 140\" or better.. How many have U seen in your

I'd say about 2-5 every year, and that's enough for me to know that I have it pretty good compared to some. I've killed one over 140 and one in the 130's...I always seem to see them during bow season has been the problem and the closest was 45 yards and that was my first year bowhunting and I wasn't comfortable at the range at the time. Now if they do that now, I'm playing some string music

I guess im hunting the wrong spots.... Untill last year, I had not shot a buck in 3 yrs....let alone even seen a big one. Last year was my biggest....not a huge racked 8 but he dressed at 192 lbs....a record for me I guess...lol

I have seen probably about 100 in my 17 years of hunting. I have one hanging on my wall he scored 148 1/8 and my brother has one on his wall that scored 169 3/8 and my dad has one on his wall that scored around 140. All were taken off of our property and with all the other ones I have seen them from a distance while hunting or driving into town or to our other property. I usally see between 5 to 10 every year I come home to hunt.

I've seen probably a dozen or more out in the wild (seen some big ones in captivity too) I took one: 140 4/8 and another that's close 133 5/8

Those two I mentioned are the biggest I've seen while hunting and I got both of them, but I've seen much bigger ones while not hunting.

Last year I was watching a non-typical until at least halfway through the growing season when he dissapeared, it was still early and he had a lot of growing to do but I thought that would have scored 160-170 roughly guessing.

I've seen more and more 120+ and bigger deer the past 5 or 6 years than I ever had before.
