Default RE: Big Game Contest? Yes or No?

Well i know for one im not big on the whole weighing thing cause i for one dont have a large enough scale for dressed weight animals and as for the boned weight i take different parts of the animal after i de-bone it to get it processed into hamburger and such, i could weigh it all if that was what we did but it would be a bit of a pain so i propose that instead of that we give each animal a set score based on difficulty to harvest the animal(for example Big Horns you have to go on quite the hike in the mountains to harvest one and mulies are on the plains so therefore they arent as hard)rarity of gettin the opportunity to hunt the animal(for example for me to get drawn for a pronghorn here it takes 7 years now in other states/provinces that maybe different)also the amount that one person maybe able to harvest (for example here in Alberta i can shoot 3 mulies next year and only 1 moose and 1 elk during rifle season)

So what i figure by set points for an animal this is what i would have it like now this is just a suggestion changes can also be made

Rams(can specify different speices if wanted):5
Bull Elk:4
Cow Elk:2
Bull Moose:4
Cow Moose:2
Bear:3
Mulie Buck:3
Mulie Doe:1
Pronghorn Buck:3
Pronghorn Doe:2
Turkey(not sure if we are gunna include them):2

And on the bulls/bucks what we can do to reduce the chance of a tie is take their base score then add the amount of points they have to that maybe

I only came with this whole scoring thing within like 5 mins so changes and such can be made or additions can be made or things can be removed so just let everyone know of this possible scoring system, i think it will take away alot of pissing around in the end.
