P&Y

Does anyone know if it is against Pope & Young rules to use trail cams? It says in the rules no electronic measures to locate game but you all the "pros" using trail cams and boasting P&Y bucks. Does this jive?

Game cameras are legal as long as the photos are not emailed directly to you from the game camera unit. These units are against P&Y rules.

Thanks, that was a cloudy issue for me. I cant afford $600 cams that email pics so that wont be a problem. What about sight's with LED's? Are these illegal for P&Y? Some sights have them installed and some sights like my Summit Hot Dot are "electronic", I'm guessing that these wouldn't be legal for scoring P&Y bucks. Am I right?

You are correct, no lights or battery operated sights. Tritium sights are legal however. It is a naturally glowing substance.

great thread about the pope and young rules... if i may .... what if the sight has a light installed but is in the off position while hunting deer ... would this make it safe or still not allowed? thanks

Good question. There are several sights that the lights are built into them and cant be removed. I wonder if you could just leave the battery out and be OK?

While we are on the subject, does P&Y still have the 65% let off rule in effect?

P&Y now allows 80% letoff, they will post an asterisk next to your entry to show that the bow you used was 80% letoff. No biggie.
