I've got 4 with the bow. 135" (11 pt.), 145" (13 pt.), 147" (9 pt.), and a 169" (9 pt.). All before I had kids. Now that my oldest is 10 I'm starting to be able to get more time to go out. But lately it's been with one of the rugrats in tow.

Came close to having a opportuity at a monster with my daughter in the tree last year. Buck just stayed out of range. But all she could talk about on the ride back home were the two squirrels that were chasing each other and came right by us in our tree. :roll: Kids you gotta love them...

Not enough.

Never had an animal officially scored, but backyard measuring.....3 bear and 1 deer. Add 1 more deer if he had more than one "horn" when shot.

Had another that was close 123"+/- net.....again back yard measuremet but really doesn't matter to me either way.

Saddly lost all of my bear skulls but one to a "taxidermist" who was going to bleach them for display. Taxi went thru a divorse and rumor was the ex un-thawed the freezer and chucked everything out. Know of guys that lost there deer hides and antlers......don't ask real touchy subject for the few that never recieved their mounts. They lost the antlers and all.

The guys that say they have them, are they entered in P&Y? Or are they home measured and you think they would make it? To make P&Y they have to NET 125" for typical, and 155" non typ. Having a deer gross 125" isn't the same as an official entry. I don't care, as I talk about deer in terms of gross score anyway. All my bucks are scored by the Northeast Big Buck Club, and they use the B&C scoring system, and so does P&Y.

I have "0" P&Y entries.
A buck will see you three times, and hear you twice, but he's only gonna smell you once.

Four for me. Largest was 174 NT. Spend more time thinking of the ones that got away than the ones on the wall though.

I have "0" P&Y entries.

Of the 2, I only entered one, and probably will not enter anymore. I have a buddy who is an official scorer for WI Buck and Bear. He measures mine. The one's I say are close, I have not measured, just guessing, that's why I said close but no cigar.

All mine are home measured and I'm pretty confident in my math as they're all pretty typical.

2 net in the 130s
2 net in the 140s
2 net in the 150s
1 net in the 160s

As far as I'm concerned nets are for fishing but I'm just answering the question mostly.

Mine are not so technically I have zero. I use the P&Y online calculator for home scoring.

There a few spots that are somewhat close by. A little over an hour, which IMO isnt that bad. Zap helped me out w/ topos and introducing me to the BEAST last year but, it was late spring so Im stoked to get out and hit it hard now that the season is over this winter. Its going to be challenging to say the least but Im up for it! Alot of the counties allow for dog hunting and that ends up spilling over onto game lands (public lands). So Im going to have to hunt the hunters and dogs. Since you've had such great sucess what bits of info and knowledge do you care to share? I mean your accomplishments speak for themselves. Its neat seeing guys like Dan, yourself and others taking mature deer w/ such consistency. Yall are the hunters I look up to.
