RE: Official Rules
Not all states have a tag system
i also don't agree with the first buck rule, how about automatic deductions from bucks taken in the Midwest? I doubt anyone would be up for that. Look, some states have obvious advantages, why not let us use them?

If I'm reading this correctly then no outfitter bookings (out of state hunts) allowed? Better clarify , I noticed a few folks have hunts booked. I think in all fairness it should be home state hunts , no outfitters.

RE: Official Rules
Gross score is included in the rules,
I amended rule one to read in the state you are hunting,
out of state hunts and booked hunts should be included as long as it's fair chase, no pens....why not, it's still bowhunting.....regardless but it's still the first buck you take regardless of the state.....

RE: Official Rules
Just so you know now....We don't use tags in Mississippi........
Believe it or not, we are under an honor system. 3 bucks per year/5 doe.
If you don't believe me, go to the Ms wildlife game and fish site.........
NO TAGS HERE.........but I'll make one if it will make you happy.
