I have shot a few different species in different parts of the world that have made their prespective "record books" but I have yet to enter one. Not really sure why though. I guess I just am not that big of a "book" hunter. I do it for myself, not for everyone else. The one I am the proudest of is a Coues 4x4 I arrowed in AZ at 12 yards. Being a Minnesota farm boy I thought it was a little bity buck. I stopped into a sportsman center on the way home and the guy asked if I had seen anything I told him I just shot one bigger than he had on the wall. He said "BS" When I showed it to him, he was shocked that I had gotten it with a bow. Told me I better get it scored because it would be close to 90. I had to get it weighed also and it weighed 97 lbs dressed and the bioligist said it was the biggest one he had ever weighed there. I just laughed because I was so used to the deer in MN.
Anyways I finally had the rack scored about two years later. It scored 86 5/8. The guy gave me the paperwork to register it......I've never done it. I think I might still have it in my file cabinet. LOL
