Iknow our team, last year, made a BIG push to keep people BOWHUNTING even during the gun seasons......putting MAJOR emphasis on getting a BOW buck that would help the team. It's a BOWhunting contest. It SHOULD take precedence....if you signed up.
Exactly,and that is what they and everyone else was doing,bowhunting for an antleredwhitetail so it could be scored in inches for the contests scoring system. Does don't have inches..... As JM said.... If all whitetail bucks are not scored equally for the contest how can all antlerless deer be scored equal? In your ownwords "Fair Question?"
Maintaining the integrity and NOT diminishing the accomplishments of TEAM 17 is extremely important in my eyes. You guys had a great season......and if I thought this gave a team an unfair advantage over you.....I would state that.
Are you not the one who was pouting "level the playing field"???????

You come in and play for one year and want to change the FOUNDATION that the contest was based on..... Of course it will ruffle some of our feathers (mine)who have grew along with the contest.
I say if you want a doe contest have at it, but leave our contest that was good enough for everyone else for the past three years alone.
