If you shoot a record book buck, but couldn't find it until the next day, will it still go in the record book?

YES

i dont see why not??

StrutNtom

I was wondering if there would be some kind of rule that would keep it out b/c someone else could say that shot it and that you just found it.

It should....not that i would care whether it went in the book or not

You can still enter the animal in the records UNLESS you have resumed hunting for another animal. This is one of the conflicts they were having a few years ago with the Zaft buck from ALB.

A deer just found dead can go in the record books.

I know that here in SC we have a few bucks listed in our record book that were found dead. One of the biggest bucks put in our record book in the past few years was hit by a car, not killed by a hunter.

P&Y is ONLY bowkills, However, B&C counts ALL whitetails,.... bow, gun, roadkill, found, etc.

Only in B&C. Not in P&Y.
