PS - You just need to getcha a crossbow exemption!

(BTW, since you gots all the pull up in here, get J'Dog to fix the photo album. Let me upload, but the pic was only coming through as a link addy)

Missouri has a new state record whitetail deer in the Buckmasters Whitetail Trophy Records. The new state record was harvested by John Shelton of Greenview in Camden County on Oct. 9, 2007 and just recently recognized as a new state record. The record deer was taken by crossbow and falls into the BTR Irregular Category, which makes it Missouri's No. 1 whitetail. Shelton's buck has 22 measurable points, 10 on the right side (99 5/8 inches) and 12 on the left side (105 1/8 inches). It also has four irregular points on the right side and six on the left side. Inside spread was 18 inches. In the BTR, he is recognized and given full credit for what he has grown and not penalized with a system of deductions as in other scoring systems. His official BTR Score is 204 6/8 inches with a composite of 222 6/8 inches. BTR Regional Director (Missouri, Illinois and Iowa), Jack McConnell of Willard, Mo., said, 'He was just 3.8 percentage points over limit to qualify as a new world record crossbow in the Semi-Irregular Category of the BTR. Even though the buck is in the Irregular Category, he still ranks eighth in the nation. He is truly an awesome buck.'

I know it's politically incorrect....but dude don't look too disabled to me.

ODF-the dude ain't got no legs-what more do ya want?

I don't want nothing...legs or not, dude looks like he could take me. A buddy of mine tried to get an exemption and he was told it was based on being a disability that would prevent him from drawing a bow and/or holding at draw weight...basically upper body/arm/shoulder or heart-related disability.

I don't know what that dude's shirt says for sure but it looks like it says Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk maybe. He can suck me.

Okay, maybe that isn't what it says. But, he uses a crossbow. He can still suck me.

Surely your attitude doesn't have anything to do with the fact that he shot a deer bigger than any 3 of yours put together, does it?

Maybe any 3 of my itty bitty ones.

You have others?

Its just a deer, he could use a cannon for all I care

Seriously,would be nice to see MDC give free hunting/fishing permits to any permanetly disabled Mo. resident...and any active service person or immediate family if deployed.What would that cost?100,000$...200,000$..??
Just a wild azz guess,but in state permit sales can't be more than 2% of total budget.

Cook - That's a grand idea...I especially like the idea for military folks and their families. Fork it...give ex/retired military lifetime permits for all I care. Problem is we'll never see MDC do anything like that, which would require them actually prying some of that $$ loose from their hands. They're too busy buying jets, making refuges and keeping the city folks happy.

Anyway...back on subject, props to John Shelton of Greenview on a fine deer!

That is a sweet rack, but it doesn't look like #8 in the nation. Is that for a crossbow only category?

Why would anyone enter anything in the Buckmasters Record Book? Oh yeah that`s where guys turn to when P&Y, or B&C, won`t give them the score they want coughWayneZaftcough.

If you went by LadyHunter you would understand, but since you go by LA I`m not going to waste my time explaining it to you. Now run along back down to your sammich making forum, and tell your husband that I sent him a PM about a week ago that he hasn`t answered yet.

LA - Best I can figger, it's like having a "who's wang is longer" contest. Some folks think if they can get their name in the Big Wang book, then they have proof they are all that. It's not enough for some folks just knowing.....it has to be about bragging.... so they can justify being the big bad

There's a goof on one board that has a sig line about being the 2003 champion of something. That's just sad....because it highlights he's a HAS BEEN!!

I've never entered a deer in P&Y. I enter them in the MO record books, but have never entered them anywhere else. I'm kind of like the Mitch Rompolla of MO. Except, all my deer are about 60-70" smaller than his.
