Is there a story or link with this?
Record books are meant to honor the animal, not the hunter. At least that's always been my understanding. I don't necessarily agree with differentiating between public land versus private land hunts. All you would have then is people lying about exactly which side of the line their trophy was taken. I think record books should stay as they are. What SHOULD change is that private ownership of native big game animals should be illegal, nationwide. And high fences that don't allow wild animals to cross through, should also be illegal.

What about game birds? Game meat is a huge business in the US and you'd be putting lots of private entrepreneurs out of it. How about the quail egg market - huge. If not, what's the difference between a game ranch that raises meat for the commercial market and one which raises it for hunting, which would be a commercial market?Just because you don't agree with raising animals which are normally wildlife doesn't mean you get to say it's illegal for everyone. That's like the wave of the king's hand there, BC.
