If it's already an EAB zone, what would this rule (contest) change? If it isn't.....simply take the doe after the buck (or before)....whenever a valid shot opportunity presents itself.

This rule change (whether it ever materializes or not) would be the ONLY part of the contest that was 100% "fair". A doe from any part of the country would count the same. Common sense tells us that it isn't that way with bucks.

I'm not bitter about the contest AT ALL. I enjoy the comaraderie of my teammates VERY much. I've made lifelong friends from it. I've also scored for my team each year I've entered.....and don't have any reservations that I will, next year. It's not about "me". I'd just like to know the real reason some don't like the idea.

In a way.....I understand that there's "tradition", but the contest IS only 3 years old (counting this year). Where's the real harm?
