How do you feel about this? Don’t care about a piece of paper? Not fair chase?

Personally, it doesn’t bother me either way. But I never liked the advantage the cell cams gave the hunter. Those traveling to hunt is a little different. But people like myself that live in the woods, just never seemed fair.

I could not locate an official statement on B&Cs social or website, but I'll assume it's true and I'm not surprised. I've never killed a book buck and may never, but if I do, I don't really care if I can't enter it into their book. No skin off my back.

My first post is from their website along with the link to the page.

I agree though. Those that want to play their game need to follow their rules. Everyone else just do what legal and what makes you happy.

Rotten deer found in a ditch after being hit by a train. Sure enter that bad boy!
Deer of questionable origin hanging above the bar for decades and purchased by a customer! Shit yeah enter that sucker.

Deer killed by legal means after getting his picture taken by a cellular cam... You cheating unethical bastard, keep that shit out of our book.

I have goals. Shooting a B&C buck is in the goal list. Entering one in the books? I don't care. I don't hunt for the reason of putting my name in a book. Earlier in my hunting career it seemed important. . . It is not.

Same!!! I was mega into it for 10years in my 20s never did any good but my brothers all did very well and we were hunting in the same spots! Sometimes I would even sit in their stands all day and not see the big deer they do. I would take the scentlock showers, not get dressed until I leave the truck and keep my scentlok clothes in a scentlok box. If they sold scentlok water back then I would’ve bought it haha never shot does. Now If it’s brown it’s down and stock my freezer! They always beat me in hunting but fishing, I smokem ha!

Very interesting. Sitting over a corn pile is book worthy but getting a pic sent to you is not. I have a few bucks that make OBB. Never entered them. I hunt for my own reasons. Not to get my name in a book.
Besides, I’ma firm believer in scoring a deer for what he grew, not what some club thinks the antlers should look like. Total gross score is all that matters to me.

I never did understand the deduction thing. If the deer grew it, it counts.

There’s only one deer in my house that I even remember what it scores and I didn’t even kill that one😂.
