If none of those activities is a sport, why do people keep score? I caught so many of these. Is this a record? The antlers scored this many points. My fish is a new record. Seems awful competitive for people?
That's why I don't care for record books at all. I don't care how many inches a deer is.

As trappers we should pick up quickly on the fact that ADC work or animal control is a very favorable aspect of trapping. We can use the natural resource science and biology staff persons to help and assist in enlarging that message. After all take a state like WI where we open coon ( and I use coon as they are common and also interact negatively a lot with the public) that season about 3-4 weeks before the most of the animals have very limited value in the current market. So in reality if I trap coon in WI early I am doing ADC work for the tax payers of WI at no tax payer cost with limited to no return on my time and resources. We have not been doing a good job of promoting that aspect. We typically as trappers argue about the price of fur and or gas and why we don' t harvest and the number of unskilled and un trained and unlicensed citizens who harvest these animals and in many cases in very inhumane ways.
Bryce This is an excellent point. Trappers save the public money and aggravation in so many ways

I could be wrong but wasn't Boone and Crockett and Pope and Young originally organized as a means for wildlife management? Ol'dad
