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
This is how I feel too. He hunts Kansas every year and still shoots 125s. You would think he would get bored with those.
I don't see a reason not to personally. If you're not going to get credit for it why bother shooting a trophy? Just to say you did it? Does are made out of meat too. Might as well be shooting those if you're the only one that knows you shot it.
If I catch or shoot an animal that's lived long enough to be a record of any kind I'm going to respect that animal enough to give it, its due as well.
If you're putting forth the time,money and effort why not give yourself some credit as well? Not to gloat or rub it in other people's faces but to give yourself a pat on the back. I sure as hell ain't sitting in a tree after paying thousands of dollars and busting my butt filling feeders and everything that goes along with it just to kill a trophy to hang on the wall and nobody ever so much as hears about it. Someone mentioned a waste of time.....That's what that would be.
That's like paying $10,000 for a lease just because you like to watch the squirrels chase each other around. Go to the park and do that. It's a lot cheaper.
Yes!
I enter everything in sci as the funds geaux to conservation projects. In addition, the data gathered is used to combat negative legislation and game laws from anti hunters or misinformed zealots. Also......Hopefully in year 2100 my great great great great great grandchildren can follow my adventures in the field.......Win/Win/Win!!![emoji6]
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.
Spectacular!!!![emoji122][emoji122][emoji122][emoji122] Noted in the anals of history for lifetimes.[emoji885][emoji120][emoji885]
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……….
When having an animal officially entered in B&C , P&Y , or SCi. It’s not so much about score or getting your name in there. You should look into the back ground of the clubs and what they have done for the conservation and the hunting world.
Shhhhh....[emoji2962]...that's too hard to deaux!!![emoji854][emoji13][emoji38]
