Here we go again. Just once I'd like to see someone shut the hell up when it comes to announcing a WR until it has actually been verified as such. Do you people have any idea how many "pending" world records are out there? It's getting ridiculous. It seems anyone that has taken a large buck seems to think it's a pending something or other. As of now there are several typical "pending WR's" from Saskatchewan, Alberta, Kentucky and Wisconsin. There are also a couple of non-typicals out there being touted as World Records as well, most significantly the Albia buck. And I've got news for you regarding the Albia buck. Apparently the rack of 2003 from this great non-typical pales in comparison to previous years and will not break any records. It's still a great looking rack but it is a far cry from previous years. It's still a basic 8 pointer, but much mass has been loss and there a fewer scorable points. The Albia buck will probably only score in the 250-260 range, so it doesn't look like there will be any record titles for the youngster who shot it in the future. I'm not going to get into the amount of claims regarding state and provincial records that will never bear out. Ever since Zaft milked his "pending WR" for over a year seems like everyone thinks they have a right to that title. Now correct me if I'm wrong but Zaft's deer only scored 172 and change...... seems to me that's significantly lower the WR tally. And whre is he now? lol
