What about a picture of a license and/or tag of the state where the animal was harvested? Proves the buck was not taken on a ranch(high fence) and it was taken legally. Picture w/ license/tag and animal.-------- Just a thought?

RE: Official Rules.
 

That's very difficult as many states don't require a tag at all so we won't know. I personally take all my pictures before putting in the ear tag cause it's just so stupid. It would be hard to control and we need to trust one another, if the deer and the bow and the shooter's in the pic, what else can we assume?

Rob what about sitka deer we have some friends from alaska in the contest??????

RE: Official Rules.
 

Wouldn't they be the Sitka Blacktail already in the list?

Whitetail (as norm):125/125 = score x 1
Columbia blacktail: 125/90 = score x 1.39
Sitka blacktail: 125/75 = score x 1.67
Mule deer: 125/145 = score x 0.86

Yep thats team 44 for you.;)

RE: Official Rules.
 

just so everyone knows theres a good site for scoring your deer, adds up the scores and everything for you, just make sure you take the gross score off the bottom not the net

www.luckybuck.org then go to score your deer or something like that. IDK if u can copy and paste it right over but it makes it easier. FYI

RE: Official Rules.
 

Being a newbie to this site, I'm curious why the bowhunt only includes deer? P&Y scoring to my knowledge is all linear relative to the size of the racks. You're using multipliers to compensate for average size per species. So why not include Elk and even any of the other ungulates that we hunt in NA?
Most people on this site are rabid WT hunters and I can respect that, but there are a lot of us that are just as rabid about elk hunting. Just a thought.

RE: Official Rules.
 

Simple, there are deer in every state depending on species and I'd bet, everyone hunts them or has opportunity to hunt them. Elk, not so much.;)

I'm not on a team, but if a guy were to get a buck like this, would his team mates kick him off the team?:D
