MULE, when they don't know what to say, they come up with stupid stuff like some of these posts to try and make light of the facts different from their point of view. Its a way of adjusting, discredit the messenger, and then you don't have to think about the message. I have no desire to go to an elk farm in MT. I've just been discussing the issues about them with these guys, giving another point of view. Maybe they can give a better explanation, you asked them more than me probably.
Lostagain, I like the way Trophy Game Records of the World records the trophy animals to make delineations and to recognize accomplishments. They record how big the animal was to recognize what size animal is a good one, they record who shot it, to recognize the hunter, they record who the guide was to recognize the guide and they record who the outfitter or ranch was to recognize that. If a guy gets an animal on his own on public land, its just him and the animal in the record book. If a guide gets a lot of good animals, they are recognized for that. Same thing with the outfitter, if they have a lot of trophy animals, they get recognized. Its a way to delineate and to recognize other components to what makes a successful trophy animal in the record book.
