I think if the "doe rule" should take affect later in the season. For those hunters who wait on the big buck and miss out. So that everyone can help out. If we say after a buck then we are just helping out the ones who have already put up there numbers. Also I think we should put a hanycap on it. Like say under a 120 or 100 you get 20pts for doe. And for scores higher than that less points for a does.

Wouldn't a handicap like you are saying defeat the idea of shooting a big buck to gain the most points? Don't get me wrong I'm all for the points for a does idea simply because i m not going to shoot a 2 1/2 year old just so we get some points when all along I've been managing for older more mature whitetails

Here is a thought on the idea of shooting a doe. Let the contest run as is this year. Next year contest include a rule stating that you have to shoot a buck first then you can enter a doe following the same rules for entering it.That way everyone is helping the team by getting a buck and "bonus points" for harvesting a doe. In the event of a tie with "buck "points the "doe"points could used to help break tie. However dont think should be 500 points for a doe maybe 20-25.
Just an idea. Doesnt mean it will happen or work.

i think 50 points for a doe.. and you can kill it at any time. however if you kill a buck then your doe does not count. gives everyone a chance to contribute to the team while also not allowing for one person to contribute twice.

This to me seems like the best idea yet. Lets everyone get a descent chance to help the team out with the option of upgrading to a buck. A lot of the other ideas here seem good, but could get a bit complicated for the ones trying to keep all the teams scores straight. This idea keeps it fairly simple and acheives what were all trying to do with this thing i think.

Here's An Answer To The Doe Point!
I have a freind who lives in Idaho and they can't shoot does,but are allowed 2 bucks,why not allow the extra buck for the same total as you allow for the doe?
