Default RE: Are the record books "tainted" now??

There are a ton of P&Y and B&C deer shot every year that are not ever put in the books. I lived in Iowa for 57 year and have always been around archery. I myself have a few of 130 to 140 inch bucks that are not in the books. I can always remember being at a friend pro shop and a guy and his son came into the shop with a buck that would score in the 180 to 190's. I ask him if he was have it measured and he said no. I than ask him if he was going to have it mounted being it was his sons deer and he also said no. I told him to call another friend who is a taxidermist and that he would pay him for the cape off that deer. He thought that was great and did it. I talked to my taxidermist he told me he has bowhunters and gun hunter every year come in from IA & ILL and he buys the cape of them than cuts the rack off for them and that he mounts a lot of 190 inch B&Y and B&C bucks every year that never see the books. Some hunter just don't care about the recored books.
