[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5394446, member: 1409"] All this "score" talk reminded my of a very accomplished mature buck hunter up in Michigan many years ago. At the time a "hint" of his story came out, Milo Hansen had just killed the #1 Typical in North America, at least of documented net score. It was a pretty rack, pretty thin actually, and to me, paled in comparison to many mainframe 8-pointers scoring much less. So, while all the magazine were doing stories on the Hansen buck, while Mr. Hansen was getting/giving all these endorsements, traveling road shows, then suddenly, "too much" of a story came out about a probably much more accomplished "nobody knew him" hunter in Michigan's backwoods. As I remember it, the backwoods Michigan guy had a wall full of fully mature bucks making the "book", including one that net scored more than the Hansen buck! I heard the poor guy was paid a significant amount of money [I]NOT[/I] to have this buck scored, even though it would have immediately become the new #1 Typical in North America. I'm sure someone can now tell us "the rest" of that story :) And maybe Michigan remains a bit of a "sleeper" state for "book" bucks because fewer Michigan hunters dare officially have their bucks scored?
