As a representative poor boy, I don't much care about making any record books. It is the experience that I'm after. I'd like a good representative animal. If I was able to hunt more often, I might be more interested in making the book... but just making the effort is a first goal. I took some South African plains game that might (or at least I've been told) make the SCI muzzleloader record book. I never contacted them because it isn't important. I got to go. I got my feet wet and I'm going back for a buff. I'm not about to louse it up by worrying about making a book that I've never read nor care to read. The life experience is far more valuable than my name in a book.
