RE: Are the record books "tainted" now??
What I am wondering it just the way it is, and we just have to deal with in.
Golf is better than it was
Deer hunting is better than it was.
More bigger bucks than we had in the past

As for"Johnson" size..a quick explanation for all to learn from.
Once and for all: Steroids have 0 effect on a mans unit size. They shrink your "lemons" Temporarily.
If you are getting an excess amount of Lemon juice injected. Your body doesn't have to produce lemonaid.
It realizes this and shuts down production. Once you come-off the supplementary injections. Your body will gradually begin lemonaid production again.
Or so I've read..[&:]

I dont look at it as being tainted, i to, am about the admiration of the animal. Im sure some slip through the cracks that get beyond the let off rule, pen raised or whatever. again im all about the admiration of the animal, the man upstairs will take care of the rest if been done unhonestly

By looking at how many are entered each year and compared with the number of hunters, a 125" buck is still difficult to get.

If they were to remove the fair chase restriction ,how many would be entered?

If they did........... then I'd say that the records would become tainted!

Question, a buddy of mine killed a 153" buck back in the 80's at our hunting camp. It made boon and crocket back then and is entered. That size buck will no longer make it, does that make it tainted? I dont think so! it was what it was and whats now is now.

Along the same line, how many deer are entered that were taken that should not of been according to their fair chase rules?
Do they just take the hunters word for the location of the kill?
Not trying to the clubs down in any way, I don't know so I am asking.

again, the books are not prob tainted, but way off as far as where the bigger deer are taken, because not everyone enters their deer. To say 200+ deer are rare is not true, I guess it just matters where you live.
