Im sure some of you all have already heard or read the truth, but since i didnt see a post on it i thought i would supply a link. It is of the bull that has been floating the internet supposedly from Colorado and a new P&Y record..... wrong. Once again an example of a wealthy grocery shopper. Unfortunately though this shopper had enough guts to try and attach a actual state tag to the animal and submit it to Boone and Crockett in attempt of raising himself high up on the pedestal of records... its truly unfortunate that somebody attempts to buy their way into fair chase hunting illegally. I wish that there was a way for this individual to be charged with something, but I understand what the statement says. Here is the statement from Boone and Crockett.... click the link at bottom to see the picture of the bull in question.

This great bull has been flying around the Internet for quite sometime under the heading, New P&Y World's Record, Idaho, and Colorado. Here's the real story.
This bull was entered into B&C records on a Colorado elk tag with an entry score of 405-1/8 and has been rejected.
The Boone and Crockett Club's records department, with cooperation from a B&C Official Measurer from Colorado and Colorado Division of Wildlife determined that this bull was taken on a game preserve in Idaho in 2010.
The same hunter attempted to enter another bull scoring 402-7/8 reported to having come from the same ranch in Colorado in 2009. This bull has also been rejected.
The Boone and Crockett Records Program, since its inception in 1906, does not accept or recognize trophies raised for the purpose of shooting on game farms, preserves, or within escape-proof enclosures.
No game laws were broken and no changes have been filed. It is not against the law to fraudulently attempt to enter trophies into the records book, just not smart.
B&C records data is a useful tool for game managers in monitoring the success or failure of big game management programs. This data is also a valuable tool for policing itself.
The state of Colorado offers tremendous elk hunting opportunities to the sportsmen, including trophies, but two bulls over 400 from the same ranch, by the same hunter in back to back years? Even if this anomaly was not brought to the attention of the Club by an Official Measurer, it would have been flagged by the Records Department processing the entires and doing its due diligence.
Dating back to 1830, the state of Colorado has produced only five bulls that score over 400 typical."

what an idiot!
when did it get so important to be in the record books, that guys will buy animals and lie about it?
i wonder if they sit at home, on their couch, and look up to the bull/buck, and have convinced themselves that they really did do something special?
](*,) ](*,) :>/
givin i had the money, if i was looking to buy a ranch for hunting, and was mislead like that, there would be 1 hell of a lawsuit to follow!
And he actually bought me lunch because I found it for him.
So I should thank you for the free lunch I got.
FAIR CHASE STATEMENT
FAIR CHASE, as defined by the Boone and Crockett Club, is the ethical, sportsmanlike, and lawful pursuit and taking of any free-ranging wild, native North American big game animal in a manner that does not give the hunter an improper advantage over such animals.
HUNTER ETHICS
Fundamental to all hunting is the concept of conservation of natural resources. Hunting in today's world involves the regulated harvest of individual animals in a manner that conserves, protects, and perpetuates the hunted population. The hunter engages in a one-to-one relationship with the quarry and his or her hunting should be guided by a hierarchy of ethics related to hunting, which includes the following tenets:
1. Obey all applicable laws and regulations.
2. Respect the customs of the locale where the hunting occurs.
3. Exercise a personal code of behavior that reflects favorably on your abilities and sensibilities as a hunter.
4. Attain and maintain the skills necessary to make the kill as certain and quick as possible.
5. Behave in a way that will bring no dishonor to either the hunter, the hunted, or the environment.
6. Recognize that these tenets are intended to enhance the hunter's experience of the relationship between predator and prey, which is one of the most fundamental relationships of humans and their environment.
