9. You must enter the first bow kill antlered deer you get.....second buck for you lucky states will not count. First buck means first taken regardless of multi state hunts.
I read it as "first bow kill antlered deer" I don't see any part of that as subject to interperetation. I don't see it as a loophole either. We all know states vary and some hunters hunt mulitple states and I agree with the "first" part. But is says first bow kill not first kill. Besides that, how could it be policed? the guys with gun kill next to their name seem to be guys who enetred the gun contest. I know that there are more who have harvested a gun buck that arent shut out simply because it wasnt posted on huntingnet.
