#130: Do Record Books Mean Anything Anymore? Cloned Deer & Giant Bass

Send us Fan MailThe boys dive headfirst into three of the most controversial topics in the outdoor world right now. First up, the hot-button debate around cloned whitetail deer in low-fence, fair-chase hunting. If a hunter kills a cloned deer that breaks records, does that buck deserve a spot in the record books — or does cloning cross a line that changes the meaning of “fair chase”?Next, the conversation shifts to Texas bass fishing and the Toyota ShareLunker Program. With bigger fish showing up more often thanks to the program’s impact on genetics and fisheries management, should new record bass have an “asterisk” next to them? Or is this just the natural result of good conservation work paying off?Finally, the boys hit the red button on a topic that fires up hunters everywhere: Are skyrocketing hunting lease prices ruining public land hunting? Does private lease inflation push more pressure onto public ground, or is this just the new reality of hunting access in 2026?Plenty of opinions and the kind of debates that usually require a campfire and a cooler nearby.
