RE: Okay, This is the way it is!
Obviously I missed something major because I'm in left field right now, LOL.
Anyhow...my .02 on this is that it should be your first buck killed with a bow, regardless of what else you take, and when you take it. Me personally...I huntearly bow season looking for a shooter. Then I head to my annual "hunt camp" for opening week of gun, then back to the bow for the rest of the season. Because I decide to hunt with a gun that one week, if I tooka buckthen -- that shouldn't rule out my chance to participate in the contest, assuming I still had a legal tag. For the few folks that this might affect, I guess that is their choice....they chose to take the buck with the gun, basically nixxing their chance with a bow. I could live with that if it was me, I made my choice.
