Entering deer in record books?

[S-3 Ranch]

Might have a B&C mule deer hanging on the wall, haven’t got around to scoring it.

Doubt i would enter it anyway.

My grandpa never got his scored . Said he didn’t want people bothering him about it . Killed in the 1960’s in Arizona

Scoring used to be about how much meat the critter was going to provide. Hence, "the big buck".


My godfather, who was a farmer and cattleman (after being forced out of the hog business in the 1970s), and born and raised on a farm in Wingate TX, told me about a buck he shot on his property once (when I was 37 yoa). He said it didn't have the biggest rack. But his body was big. And he liked a little deer meat once in a while, instead of beef and pork all the time.

My 2010 speed goat made B&C awards. In that book. Very proud of it.

As soon as I locate an official scorer I will enter “wonder bra” and “public enemy” they both were highlights of my hunting life and they both met requirements to a T. I’m proud of them and the animals themselves deserve the recognition. To survive to maturity in east Texas small properties and on public land. It’s a tip of the hat to the animal. I do t care if my names beside it or not

He was a 175 inch nine point the year before and I let him walk and glad I did. His G2's are 16 inches which is pretty rare.

I have hunted for over 60 years - I grew up reading the old magazines and going through the Boone and Crocket book of records. Back then it was truly rare to have a buck qualify for B&C record book. The B&C club is an honorable organization IMO.

So in 2009 I was able to kill a LF buck that scored 201 Nontypical - he netted 198. I had him officially scored and he qualified for the all time record book.

I get that times have changed but to be truthful it was the highlight of my many years of hunting and I am proud if it.

This one wins the prize in my book.

I don't even enter the contests though have no problem with anyone entering anything as they wish.

If I killed the world record typical I wouldn’t even enter it, don’t give a crap about it. I read where milo hansen makes about 30-40 grand a year going around showing off his deer. Lol! Huge waste of time

a waste of time that makes him $40k a year...?

pretty nice buck in your avatar pic btw, thanks for sharing...

I entered my buck in B&C. It took me many years and effort to kill a net 170+ low fence. The landowner wanted them entered. Back before “fake” deer killing a book deer was a big accomplishment.

I' agree. I'm glad B&C recognizes that high fence manipulates the deer into a unnaturally large fake size.

I feel people talking about Eberhart not entering his bucks for the record books is less about the books and more about their dislike of him...
I personally find his demeanor outrageously condensending.

But that doesn't discredit him for his amazing success in the whitetail woods. I just choose not to listen to him talk.

well that one makes sense to enter lol

Only did one. It was once in a lifetime for me. My Pronghorn was third or four biggest that year and I didn't bother with it.

He really doesn’t even kill a lot of big deer. Not to discredit him because he is a good hunter. But the way he acts and talks, you’d think he has walls full of booners when in reality most look like 130’s

Ya, I don’t know why anyone would get an animal mounted.just cut the horns and antlers off and through them in the back of the garage I think you should let the big ones walk by so someone who cares can shoot them……….

I’m with you. Kinda like catching a 13 lb bass and not taking a picture of it. It’s just another bass………
