I've never been one to care about the deer record books............but I wonder for those of you that DO care and take them seriously with a sense of pride in being included..........what do you think about the current and soon to be greater flood of huge racked bucks that are filling these books now. Does this "cheapen" or "taint" any aspect of them or do you simply look at them in the same manner as you did years ago.

Things I would be talking about of course are the growing of racks through supplemental feeding.........the common practice of paying to hunt huge bucks.........."selective" harvesting and breeding and selling of genetic material........no more 65% let off rule...........and so on.

Will this era be looked back upon similar to the way baseball is looked at in the 90's now??.......with artificial means being introduced with obvious results.

Also.........would you be pissed to see a genetically and nutritionally "farmed" deer take over the top spot in these books??
