Self Guided Public Land B & C Records

[elkhuntinfool78]

Hello,

Just curious how many here would be curious what the percentage of self guided hunters taking an animal on public land are in the Boone and Crockett records books?

And if there were a specific category in the Boone and Crockett records, would more average guys become members of the B&C club?

I know that B&C has this information for every entry yet it is not published in the records books which I find unfortunate.

Let me first say that I have nothing against a guided hunt, if I had more money there's no doubt I'd be going on a few. But that said I do feel that an animal that is taken without a guide and on public land carries more weight than one that is guided on some of the most prestigious private land the country has to offer.

One could also say animals taken on an otc tag would carry more weight than those harvested on a limited entry tag. I don't believe B&C records that info though.

I haven’t gotten that many record book heads, but 2 of the 4 were by drawing, both Moose and Sheep and non guided on public land. The third and 4th were also public land, the mule deer was Pope and Young…

pretty sure there is a layer for it on your OnX map

All time b&c numbers are a impressive animal the other numbers are a money grab

Some exceptional animals sir!

That said I was more asking if a differentiation between guided and self guided, public vs private would be of interest to the average guy or if most do not care to know those details
