My question has not been answered yet and I am actually serious about it.
"Did they measure the buck before they shot it?"
I bet they did and it is then that they released it thinking it could be the SCI World Record. If it was too small (might have been last year), they could have put it back in the cage and tried to pump him up for next year's harvest.
If I take the time out of my busy schedule to call Wade, will he answer my question?
BCBoy has a serious point about raising these animals and pumping them full of the good stuff and then shooting them when they reach their potential. That is crazy, not even close to comparable to the Burris Buck. It is game harvesting or something, not hunting.
