I like the record books to see what kind of animals an area might produce, but they really don't tell the whole story because lots of hunters will never enter an animal. But if you see a certain county listed over and over that is a place I want to look into!
I have killed several deer that would qualify for the P&Y book but haven't ever had one entered. If I ever kill a B&C with my bow I will might have it entered due to how hard it is to find an all time B&C book buck.
