Good question Bogobble and yes my bow is P&Y legal as my moduals with my TRX came with a 75% and had them changed out to 65% moduals in order to qualify for P&Y, and yes I am glad they have guidelines and restrictions on how the game is taken. If a person cannot harvest game under these guidelines then you can enter it in the B&C, where they accept road kills. I talked to a scorer this past year for P&Y and he said the secret in qualifying for a P&Y with a 75% let off bow is when you pull back, don' t pull back all the way and then your within the 65% perameter. (Loop hole in the system.)
Selway, I think there is a lot of difference between 65% and 80 especially when you have to hold a bow back for an extended period of time when a critter comes in on you.
Bigbulls, according to my lastest edition of the P&Y book, it credits the hunter and the score of the animal and location of harvest. I would like to have my name in that book and that is maybe my goal with white-tail as it would be above 175 inches.
Tfox, these are the rules, guidelines established to draw a line somewhere in the sand because where would it ever end? I work to hard in hunting a trophy animal to meet the guidelines by P&Y and then have some individual that has a handicap sticker and is allowed to hunt with a crossbow. They would give them stickers out just like the handicapp parking permits.
