I intended to join, but thought that you had to have a qualifying animal...so it's good to know that you don't. After getting my 07 buck I became interested and called one of only a few scorers in our area to get my buck officially scored and entered, but it was at the taxi at the time. Now that I have it back, I may follow-up and try again. I also talked to him about becoming a scorer and you'd have thought he won the lottery he was so excited. Seems they don't have nearly enough and are worn pretty thin running around performing their volunteer duties. Personally, if I were a scorer, people would be bringing their trophies to me, not me going to them.
