Thats neat and all, but I'm not so sure it's the most accurate thing out there.
I'm from Edgar Co. here inIllinois and we are listed at ZERO entries. I know for a fact that this is inaccurate. I can think of 4 that I know were killed in the last 4 or 5 years that for surewould meet the B&C minimums if I'm reading this correctly. I'm sure there are plenty more that I didn't hear or see as well.
All fair chase and wild:
My aunt killed a buck that scored 167"
My friend's dad killed one that scored 177"
A guy that comes into the bowshop I go to killed one that was in the 160's
My neighbor killed one that scored 170
And back in like '92 Ernie Hires killed a HUGE one...the writer Les Davenport called it a "possible world record in the making"

Friend's Dad's:
