To each his own Kevin1. The deer was shot in 1958 and was sold to the previous owner at an estate auction. The previous owner is the one who had it scored and entered. So where's the harm. My names not gonna be in the book. I know the gentlemen's name who shot it and his name is going in the book. He'll get his recognition. I don't see what the big deal. I don't remember saying I shot him and am proud of him. I just know there's a market and sooner or later I will run into someone who will pay top dollar for him.

I have 3 P&Y bucks I've taken with a bow the highest 158. I haven't had any scored nor will I ever. I don't have to have in the books to be proud of him. So now that you know a little more maybe not such a big deal.
