Congrats on your first buck. Very nice deer. Do you have any pictures of you with him before you cut him up without the bow. You MIGHT be able to post both pictures and get a captains vote. You might be told no. They have made it a strong point that you know it is required. I hope they let it count. As for entering another one I don't think they will do that if they don't allow this. Also in the rules it says your first buck and if they hold you to the rule about the bow they will probably hold that one as well.

Regardless it is a great buck. Do you have the story that goes with it? Congrats again.
