As far as Private land goes, All bucks shot on Private lands that are entered in the record book should be removed, It is not fair to everyone else being compaired. They do this with Fishing, a Record Steelhead was caught last year, but did not qualify for the books because it wasn't caught on a stretch of stream that everyone had the oppertoonity to fish.
Does someone setting in a heated treehouse, harvesting a big buck that stood still long enough for the "hunter" to open his window and get a shot, and didn't spook because of the smell of gasoline, because of the lazy hunter, parking their 4wheeler too close to their stand, deserve any kind of record??? I think not.
their should be 5 differnet record catagorys.
1 State or public land Bucks
2 Archery or ML bucks
3 Private land Bucks
4 private land Archery or ML.
5 And all catagorys with a cut off point of the AR, theirs alot more nicer racks being taken now, so how is that fair to those who took quality bucks when they were hard to come by.
