For the most part, I think they want to see the deer whole and not caped out or signs of a road kill. It gives them more to look at for catching cheaters which they occasional do.Mike's well liked on the forumand his hunts are pretty well documented.

Whilewe " willshow the whole deer " in our pictures like we are suppose to... I would leave this be. It would get ugly. Robdoes a great job watching over the contest. He decided it qualified. Mike has other pictures of the buck that he posted.It is legit.

The one thing they don't fudge on at all is not having your bow or you in the picture. Your picture willbe DQed. You better have a picture with a bow and you in it.
