Trock I have deleted the e-mail but however you your self may e-mail them also by getting on thier site. I e-mailed them and asked if regulation zone#6 was in the earn a buck program and they e-mailed me back and said that unless other wise stated the particular season is in in earn a buck. I then looked at regulation #6 and it say's reminder earn a buck regulation ends Dec. 14 2002 so I it sure seems that yes earn a buck is effect. If I am wrong I am sorry but I honestly feel that you needed to shoot a doe. If you were checked by a warden I quess you are legal but then again who knows? Either way I stated my peice if you don't like it sorry this is public opions board. Trock I realy hope I am wrong but for some reason I just don't think thats the case here. As far as the issue on the shot well it was your decision but in my opion was a poor decision and I would have waited for a better shot. Intentional aiming away from your normal shot zone and hopeing for a good hit is just that " shooting and hopeing" which is very irresponsible and very unethical come on you can argue with me all you want but you owe to that animal not me not even yourself. Just look at hom many times this year people have posted "help me find my deer" or " is he dead yet?" I know that every one will loose a deer at some point but to porposly do some thing marginal uuughhh. Good luck with your hunting.
