Bowfanatic and Big Country are you serious about the Zaft buck?
You would not have claimed it and put it in the P and Y to gain all that money?
Me if I knew that was my buck (and he knew too much about it not to be his) then I am claiming it and collecting all that appearance money at least until one bigger is shot!!!
I know all about the ethics of it... but this comes down to some real change!!!

I really cant answer in all honesty what I would do in his situation. When we're talking about alot of money I have to look out for my family first.
How much money is he making off that buck anyway?
I know I dont believe his buck should be in the record book and I'll explain why. The whole story about the marginal shot and poor choices he made and lack of recovery (by my definition) doesn't paint a good picture of the bowhunter for the general public. On top of that , since he didn't even find the buck , can anyone say without a doubt that the buck the farmer found was the buck he shot?

So now we need to remove ALL animals that were hit with a "marginal shot"? Also, if you had help finding the buck...and one of the guys finds it before you do...those have to be removed as well.
He did NOT succesfully recover the deer. He DID succesfully kill and tag the deer...that's enough to get you in the books, no matter how bad it looks.
The deer belongs in the books....you just won't find me listening to everything Zaft says like it's the gospel or something.
