John I said this in the other thread.

I have not registered any of my deer, includingthe one from this year. IfI shot one and it would beat our current state typical record I would enter the buck. Only if Mitch Rompala still holds the record. He has the current record, I think very little of Mitch.

My reason for not entering deer is simple, I could careless if you guys know what I shoot. I really do not want folks to know(in MI), I do not even post pictures at my hunting club.

A lot of Hunters have the "Self Entitlement disease", they think they canhunt anywhere. Because they live in MI and have worked for 30 years in the auto industry they are entitled to hunt your land. You guys may think I am nuts, but I got permission for a family member to hunt the farm across the street. Guess who I caught tresspassing on our farm[:@] I have no love forother(some not all)hunters in my state. I have my core friends, but mostly I keep to myself. HNI is a great place, I would hunt with any of you guys, I just wish there were more like HNI members in my state.
