So if Joe Scrote (hope you dont mind me using your alias) finds a baby deer raises it to a record weight and rack size then releases it into a parcel of woods, "hunts" it, and shoots it should that be a new state record?

If I caught a fish that i knew was stocked at a weight greater than a standing state record i would be embarassed to take that record from someone that actually caught a fish that grew to such great size naturally.

Tight Lines!
