The thread posted by IBeaumont11 titled "Henry Mts. WR Typ" made
me think long and hard about the possibility of the Burris buck
ever being topped. I came to the sobering conclusion that given
the current big game management practices of most western wild-
life dept.'s to produce more elk, have fewer LE deer units, and weak predator control programs, that the possibility of a rack
ever surpassing 226' NET, is incomprehensible and improbable.
The fact that no buck since 1972 has come close much less break the record is truly amazing given that the whitetail typical re-
cord has already fallen and may fall again.
So special is the Burris buck that no other N.A. trophy, perhaps
excluding the Chadwick ram, compares in its significance as one
of the greatest trophy's ever to be taken.
Will we ever see in our life time the Burris buck topped? Doubt-
ful, given the present big game management practices coupled with
the continuing loss of so much prime deer habitat.
