And you know what, mobo.....I see that side of it, too. I really do. Tradition means a lot to me....and if I thought this would "T" off a bunch of people I'd drop it right now.

I honestly STILL think the team with the most inches of antler (BONE) will win. I also think there's likely not a person on this forum that doesn't think they can take a doe AND a buck (if their regs allow it). We'll probably (I don't know this...just guessing) get some guys who wouldn't normaly sign up for the contest based on a change.....and, honestly, I don't know if that's good or bad.

It's good to have more participation.....BUT.....I agree....the contest was formed around putting antelred deer on the gorund (and having fun).....and that VERY IMPORTANT aspect shouldn't fall by the wayside. I'd truly hope people wouldn't sign up who had no intention or prospect of taking an antlered deer. THAT would diminish the contest (in my eyes).

There are LOTS of things to think about.....and we have LOTS of time.
