Does in the contest
This is just an idea for the contest. Since I'd bet that most of us hunt where management by taking does is an important part of our responsibility as hunters, maybe we should allow some points for a doe. I've seen this in other online contests
My though would be that only oneDOE counts. No points for button bucks and we give it some small point total, say 25 points or something like that. It would allow pointsfor guys doing the right thing and a team who takes a fair share of does would be recognized for doing so. |
RE: Does in the contest
That is a great idea, I might get some points this year then. :D
|
RE: Does in the contest
I'm not sure how this would go over but you might give more than one choice on your poll.;)
|
RE: Does in the contest
Lol, I would have voted yes, but there's no option for me on the poll.

RE: Does in the contest
I'm not saying it's a good or bad idea but I think you should ask Rob as he is the one who has to keep track of all the points. It's already a lot of work to maintain and update the contest.
|
RE: Does in the contest
That would make Rob's work that much harder....probably exceeding PITA status!

RE: Does in the contest
This would be a good idea for someone like "Buck Magnet" who will most likely kill a doe that will score higher than his entered buck!
;):D I would like to see a +25 point rating for any buck killed with traditional gear. :) |

How about fawns with an extra bonus for spots?
|
RE: Does in the contest
I'm not a fan of the idea as I haven't been in the past. I know it's good sound management and I'll be doing my part in several units here in PA this year but,
The scores are based on inches, not points. So how do we add doe points to antler inches? Let's say a team takes does, 10 for 10 guys. That would be 250 additional points or inches for that team. Now let's say 6 of the guys shoot 100" deer. They would have 850"s. Now, let's say another team shoots 849" of antler on their team but because of tag allowances, laws or herd dynamics don't shoot does. I don't find it honestly fair that team would get beat in a buck contest to doe numbers. Again, doe management is good sound practice but I find it difficult to measure does. ;) |

RE: Does in the contest
I'd only be in favor of it if it was set up that if you took a doe and received 25 points, that is your entry and if you got a buck later, too bad. Then there is no having to go back and add or a team with 10 spikes and 10 does beating out another team that had a couple of bucks. No Does if ya wanna shoot does go ahead and shoot'em..and then tell us how many you shot. It's just like playing a 7000 yard course from the front tees and telling everyone how ya shot 2 over. This is a buck contest! It was when ya signed up and it still is ! (is this where I put the smiley so people think I'm jokin???) winky winky |
RE: Does in the contest
I think it is a great Idea
 |
RE: Does in the contest
It seems like the idea is getting a lukewarm reception at best.
If it doesnt have a great deal of support ( and it aint lookin that way) it's probably not worth the extra work for Rob Besides, he's giving us an awful lot of his time now so I no longer support the idea simply out of respect for hisunselfish efforts here |
RE: Does in the contest
I think it's a good idea but, if you entered a doe, you shouldn't be able to enter a buck later.
|
RE: Does in the contest
I think it would be a good idea for each hunter to get 2 deer. Either sex.
|
RE: Does in the contest
Oh hell no!
|
RE: Does in the contest
We could measure teats like GregH (i believe) suggested a while back. [8D]

RE: Does in the contest
HOW DO YOU MEASURE THE ANTLERS ON A DOE?
  THIS CONTEST IS ABOUT INCHES OF ANTLER!! |
RE: Does in the contest
I don't find it honestly fair that team would get beat in a buck contest to doe numbers. I'm not for or against it.....but if it was going to be implemented, fairly...it would have needed to be done before teams were picked. That way....the guys in one tag states could have been separated. The big blowback you're gonna get is from people who don't give a rat's ass about shooting a doe......whether that's needed in their area or not. It's just a fact. They're not gonna shoot 'em....and they don't wanna see YOU get any points for shooting one, either. |
RE: Does in the contest
Definetly think they should include does...I've been a part of other contest where they did so and it's fun when someone takes a doe and posts up the pics and gets some points for his/her team.
I'm all for one doe = 15 or 25 points |

RE: Does in the contest
It wouldn't matter if only one doe was allowed.... One doe for each team member. How can that not matter.....when we're adding inches of antler..........(____) points for a doe....and you only have one tag? |
RE: Does in the contest
No does in the contest. Would make alot of extra work for Rob.

Tony......I'm not into the mind games, today.....it's too late in the day....lol.
Here's whatI said... I'm not for or against it.....but if it was going to be implemented, fairly...it would have needed to be done before teams were picked. That way....the guys in one tag states could have been separated. So....what I said makes perfect sense.;) |
RE: Does in the contest
Voted No
|
RE: Does in the contest
Nah!!! but it would be nice to see a sticky for all the Nanny harvest for everyone to view in one place. :)

RE: Does in the contest
I voted no does in the contest. JMO

RE: Does in the contest
Tony:
Some states have one tag....PERIOD. |
RE: Does in the contest
i say no does......its going to be hard enough keeping track of all the bucks....
|
RE: Does in the contest
Evidently.....if there are enough votes......they;ll implement does into the contest. We've got about 400+ people in the contest....and less than 100 votes.
What say ye? I wasn't aware it was going to a vote. |
RE: Does in the contest
I voted no does.

RE: Does in the contest
I voted NO does.
