RE: Official Rules
 

They agreed to allow mulies a while ago for the contest. You just have to divide the score of the mulie by .83 I believe it is.

P&Y white tail is 125
P&Y mulie is 140

So the difference is the .83 It makes it all fair and even.

GroundHunter,

The groups you talk about are rifle hunters. They also have a whitetail competition there aswell. So your argument holds no butter.

I'm in for the bowhunt contest.

RE: Official Rules
 

P&Y Mulie is 145 making it .86 and hear is the post about this. [link]http://forum.hunting.net/asppg/tm.asp?m=733893[/link]

Looks like we need to have an official rule added and agreed to by the captains.

To exclude Mulies would really make no sense. I would bet we would loose close to an entire team (10) guys because of this. Let's keep everyone in the contest here and have fun.

.86 sounds fair to me. I am willing to be several whitetail hunters will kill bigger buck than the mulie I hope to tag. Some fella already shot the Mulie I wanted in Nevada just a few weeks ago. World Record gross score is about 211 and change.

Good for you!!! I'm not argueing anything. It's not my decision, once again. [:-]

RE: Official Rules
 

mulies are in, this was decided a week ago.

Rob, some states such as MS will let you bow hunt throughout all seasons. For me, that is October 1 - January 31. I assume a deer killed with archery gear during ANY season will be permitted?

RE: Official Rules
 

Some places in NJ you have "earn-a-buck". Meaning...you must harvest a doe first. What a handicap! ;)

RE: Official Rules
 

So, are outfitter hunt bucks allowed or not?

RE: Official Rules
 

Everything looks good to me except I think Mule deer should be entered the same way as whitetails. I doubt there will be hardly any mule-deer entered, but geez, arrowing a mule-deer is tough. How many people with that bowhunt muledeer actually pass up just average ones to get a big one? Not very many. The chances with a bow aren't there like they are with whitetails. I could see dropping the score a little if it was rifle, but bow, doesn't seem fair. I think we should just keep it even. I think most anybody that's hunted mulies with a bow could agree with me on this one. Just my 2 cents.
