I don't think they should change it at all, it's still difficult no matter where you hunt to kill a 125in (net) buck with a bow.

As far as the $25.00 is concerned, I don't see a problem with it at all. It's well known that the P&Y (as well as B&C) club spend money towards many conservational programs...always have and probably always will. They have set what they think (and many others as well) to be a standard for trophy deer taken with a bow. Getting your name in their book tells all that you have accomplished that feat. Sure there will be those who lie and cheat to get it but you will find that in every record book out there.

It's human nature to show to others what they have done, why do you think people take photos of the deer they shoot?......to share and show to others. Same reason why we have them mounted. I do it because the mounts remind me of the hunt and all that went into it. It reminds me of what a truly magnificent animalWhitetails are ANDit lets me share with anyone who is intersted my accomplishment of that hunt.

The book is no different, it's a way for people to share with others their accomplishment in taking a "trophy caliber" deer.
