How exactly are these rules going to be enforced??
What about someone on a trip where there is no internet for longer then 10 days??
Not that difficult, when returning home form a successful guided trip almost all people would be jumping at the chance to show their success to their teammate not to mention the whole bowhunting community we have here. I can barely think of any case that successful bowhunters haven't come home from guided hunts to showcase their hunt, especially when they've been the best buck ever.
Many people have friends here too, phone calls are made and usually word of the deer is on the board long before the succesful hunter has made it out of the woods. It's a great community.
I can't for the life of me think of a single reason why anyone would want to keep a successful harvest a secret.
Are team captains going to be voting on foliage thickness??
If need be, that's what captains are for. To settle the what ifs, what the hells and the foul play.
Pics in the back of trucks could be from5 years ago for all we know.
Or laying on the ground, hanging in garages, hanging in trees etc...no way at all to determine that one. I know people cheat, that's a given and sad. It's just catching them that's hard. Shame on those who lie and cheat, it's hard to believe anyone could be so dishonest.
