I agree with TxCowboy. Almost without fail, when a potential record is downed, the doubts and negativity starts.

For the record....I am only mildly disgruntled over the Zaft buck, if he gets the status, which I think he will, good for him.

Milo Hanson, and Mike Beatty were also doubted in the beginning(not by me)but were as pure as the driven snow.

Mitch Rompola was doubted in the beginning. Once again, not by me. I figured it was jealousy by the mainstream hunting fraternity.
I have obviously changed my mind since then. If P&Y, or anyone else ever accepted the Rompola buck, it would discredit every entry they ever made.

Back to the Zaft buck. Wayne admitted taking a shot he was not thrilled about. OK, too late to take it back now.

He did try to find it, albeit unsuccessfully. I have no problem with him going to work, then coming back to search further. Everyone does not have the luxury of telling work to kiss off until further notice.

He did not find it himself, but it was found and given to him.
I gave my opinion on this one, but it is not that far out to warrant me getting excited one way or the other.<img src=icon_smile_cool.gif border=0 align=middle>
