bfletch7441 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: How many pope and youngs have you killed I've been bowhunting for 15 years, and have never seen one. I guess that's what I get for hunting the scrub oaks of rural Oklahoma. Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squirrelhunter91 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: How many pope and youngs have you killed Been bowhunting whitetails for two years, haven't shot one yet. Of course I haven't shot my first buck yet either. Saw my first P&Y this past season, but was about 80 yards out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: How many pope and youngs have you killed Been bowhunting 7 years this coming fall...have yet to see a P & Y buck. But I hunt rural farm land in western NY and to me any deer should be in it's "own book". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ohiostBUCKeyes Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: How many pope and youngs have you killed 2 pope and young bucks for me! Got one of them this year, he's not officially scored yet but he will push 140". I've been bowhunting since I was 14 so I guess that makes it 12 years now. Believe me, I wouldnt call those first few years bowhunting I think I should call it "frustrating and learning" but all the hard work as a young kid is starting to pay off now. Learn from your mistakes and then find where he sleeps and harvest him. Sounds easy doesn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMS Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: How many pope and youngs have you killed I've taken 5 P&Y's in the last seven years. I've only scored them myself and never had any officially measured. 163,140, 139, 129, and 127. I've also taken a few around 115-120.

need2hunt Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: How many pope and youngs have you killed I've shot 2 P&Y's but have never registered them. I've got 2 others that go over 125 but they were taken with a shotgun - I've been seriously bowhunting for around 8 years and not so seriously for a couple years before that, shotgunning for less time than that. I honestly feel blessed as even though I haven't taken every P&Y that I've seen, I typically have at least 1 or 2 within bow range every year i have hunted, plus seeing several others out of range. I remember a couple years back between me and my hunting partner we hunted 6 different counties - between the 2 of us we saw a booner in every county that we hunted that year, that was really cool. I would guess typically I see 1 deer a year that would go Boone & Crockett. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wasp Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Re: How many pope and youngs have you killed Hi I have been bowhunting since i was 15 i am now 48 and have killed 2 p&y bucks. 150 typical and a 168 7/8 non typical. Not that many popes but i should have a couple more but things just didnt work out. You know how that story goes. Both were taken in central illinois and both are in the p&y book.
