RE: I wonder how this contest will affect how we all hunt?
It won't effect my hunt either way. I only shoot what makes me happy. I won't shoot an immature deer just to get my name on the board, I'll leave that to Rack Attack []

RE: I wonder how this contest will affect how we all hunt?
I know this little game will change my mind swet on deer hunting . I usaly shoot 1 - 3 meat deer (does) and not even care if I shoot a buck. Not this year I plan on 1 quick doe and then hitting the beding areas to try and poke a nice buck . My plan is 120 or better , my farm and others close produce big bodeys not big racks , poor rack geans I think

RE: I wonder how this contest will affect how we all hunt?
I'm going to hold true to my goal of not taking a buck smaller than the last. With that said, I've only gotten two bucks with a bow. A spike and a 4pt.(6 if you count the stubs for brow tines)
I'm looking for an 8 pt or better for a buck. I'll also get that doe for the meat if and when she gets in the way of my arrow.

its not really going to affect the way i hunt, im startin to let little bucks go this year anyway, but it will give us something to think about in the tree

I agree with Rob, I didn't harvest a buck last year not because I couldn't but because I chose too, except for the Bruiser that got by me while watching two smaller bucks spar[:@]
