Tj Craig I think too, that with high profile hunters, when they kill big animals they make sure its very well known.
Do you know who Roger Rothaar is ? Did you know he's killed more big bucks with a recurve than most compound shooters ever will, and I don't think any of the land he hunted was ever leased, and much of it was public grounds ? I'm talking 180"-220" bucks and bigger.
I don't think he wanted to do a whitetail tour, or make alot of videos, or use his name to start big hunting outfitting places etc.
My point is ...... he's a blue collar type hunter in the way he did his hunting.
So are many other guys - but you won't hear about them because they aren't high profile.
That Wensel buck, Woody ...... a dandy, but I bet there were 100 bucks bigger than him (score wise) killed the same year and you didn't hear about them.
