BF I already spend more time fishing than hunting but there is never more than an hour or two that passes without me thinking of both. As far as regs I wish they could do 20" main beam length or more but most would never be able to guess that right. 20" is right at the limit of 99.9% of Pope & Young min score of 125. 20" of tine length on one side would be another good reg.. For those that do not know the old standard of telling a P&Y contender it is known as the 20/20 rule. If it has both you most likely have a P&Y gross buck. In most areas this is a 3 1/2 year old or better however I have seen quit a few 2 1/2 year olds that would make it. When Ronn and I went to ILL. a guy there shot a 12 point 2 1/2 year old that made P&Y as well as pissing the outfitter off big time. That buck would have been a world class monster in 2 or 3 more years.
I love to hunt. I love all the animals, birds, smell of the woods, the challenge, the tracking and statagies but most of all having a monach buck come into my shooting lane. September 15th won't get here soon enough.
