Defcon-in regards to the fair chase , no deep snow, etc... that' s for B&C or P&Y. Not in the hunting rules here in IL, just those record clubs, of which mean nothing to me. Folks put too much ephasis on racks. There really tough to cook and taste terrible. Every magazine for " deer hunters" is about a " new world record?!" , Massive rutting bucks!, Where to place your stand for bruisin" bucks!, How to drive for big bucks!, etc...
