I would like to add my thoughts as to private land animals as well.

I think there should be seperate catergories for public and private land bucks/bulls. If you look at the stats you will see that 90% of all the trophies in the books are private land animals. This puts those public land hunters such as me at a major disadvantage. I would rather take a 170 class mulie on public land than a 260 class deer on private, wouldn't you?
