RE: Why is this? Bowhunting Contest Question?
I posed this question during the off-season and it was met with a LOT of resistance. I didn't want to "buck" the system, and dropped it.
The contest IS skewed towrds guys from the midwest states, that's for sure.....but it is what it is. "I" think adding a doe WOULD highlight the importance of herd mgmt (I'd hazard a guess that MOST areas don't have a healthy buck:doe ratio). if does counted the same......(ex. - 50 points; 25 points....whatever) it would be fair to all. I;m guessing we don't have more than 1 person who can only harvest 1 deer, per team entered. Just place 1 of those persons on each team to keep it fair. It could work if the powers that be wanted it to.
If I were in a big buck state.....I wouldn't want it to change, either. Being from a state that isn't, though......I don't see one thing wrong with it.
