![[Linked Image]](http://i728.photobucket.com/albums/ww281/mrmikefreese/2012archerybuck.jpg) I harvested this buck on Saturday evening. I'm thrilled with him and never really gave much thought to the record books until it dawned on me that he might qualify. After doing some reading, I think he meets all of the criteria except one. I used a Lumenok on my arrow. Oh well. I didn't care much about record books before and I'm not going to lose any sleep now. He'll still look good on the wall and provide a great memory for me.

I never understood (P&Y's issue with)the Lumenok thing, it doesn't help you until after you shoot, and then only to see shot placement. I can understand lighted pins, bow mount rangefinders or e sights, but the lumenok is lumped in because it's an electronic device. I don't use them, but wouldn't have a problem with an exception for that sort of device.
Oh well, great buck, would easily meet the P&Y min score.

It's unfortunate that illuminated nocks get lumped in with other electronic devices, but those are the rules. To be honest, I never even thought about Lumenoks disqualifying a deer from P&Y until after harvesting this one and reading the rule.

ain't nothing but measuring inches. We get all outa whack about that.
I think you have it handled well though.... its a great buck, will look great on the wall, and be happy.
Books don't mean squat. Unless you play the I got a larger... than you do stuff.
For me, its the memories of the hunt more so than what someone else thinks. Or whether its book or not.

Very nice Buck and myself i could care less about my name in some dam record book.
A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to do that for Two Bucks.

I have a B&C buck on my wall I shot in 2009 and never even officially scored it. It is in the 160s or better....

Very nice buck! I'd love to take something like that and would be just plain tickled. His rack has some nice character that just stands out to me. Congrats!

His rack has some more character that doesn't show up in that pic. When I get him back from the taxidermist, I'll snap some better pictures and post them up here.

He makes my book as a nice buck if that makes you feel better. Who gives a chit about P&Y. Are they going to volunteer to come find your arrow after the shot? They gonna pay you for it? Nope. Again, nice buck. Well done lumenock or not!
Keep your powder dry and stay frosty my friends.
