I thought I'd end my remarks on this subject, but I'm glad others see the money as an root issue. We know that good hunters sell their record book racks to buyers without ever entering them in the books. The rich buyers then control the fate of the racks. Why is this? MONEY thats why! I think poached or as bruce said bent law bucks are in far greater numbers than we think. We are in a different world today than when the record books were conceived, I don't think anybody could have forsaw the inpact big money/greed would affect the entries for dollars big bucks. Unfortunately,this has created the snowball effect and tarnished the reason for the B&C/P&Y purpose. The legal/ethical hunter deserves what comes to him/her by shooting a record animal, however, industry has promoted the money greed by creating the riches for racks enviroment, whick fuels the fire of todays poacher. In the old days poachers were simply doing it for food. Today they do it for money! Now I'm done. |
