nah!

Everyone is hunting for a buck at least, not everyone in the contest hunts for doe,
Everyone might not be hunting for a doe but end up shooting one more often than shooting a buck. Many people dont have the luxury (it looks like you do) of seeingall these bucks and seeing only a few does (not even enough for you toshoot one).

I was looking at percentages in deer and deer hunting magazine (i think) on percentage ofbowhunters by state thatactually harvest a deerand just scoring on a deer was a low percentage and the lowest I believe was Texas or second to lastand that was around 13% of total bowhunters scored on a deer (run sentance but oh well).
