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?

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.

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. Thanks wasp

One in 16yrs(started when I was ten, so the first few are not hard yrs.). I've shot two more that would go 140 plus that seem to of disappeared, but I've also got bad luck
