The strange thing is, if you refuse to send it for panel scoring, it is removed from the books all together. I had a buddy that shot the world record mountain caribou and it was listed with an * for a number of years but as he refused to send it for panel scoring, they eventually removed it from the book.
I guess I understand the confirmation of "big scorers" by the panel....The thing that sucks is if you have to wait up to three years, I assume the antlers will still shrink a tad more from the 60 day drying period....so if there is 1/8" difference from the first official measure to the panel measure, do they change it.....

I guess it really isn't that big of a deal, hell if I ever get something that requires panel to score it....who cares what the final score is....
