If you want to win a Winston Cup race you have to drive a Winston Cup car. If you want to compete in the the Tour De France you have to ride a bike that meets UCI standards. If you want to enter your trophy in the P&Y book you have to play by their rules. IMO that' s fine.

Maybe just make categories so that we can see ALL of the great game animals out there. I just don' t like having a " book" that excludes so many great animals. They are the trophies not the dude who shot them. The animals deserve the recognition. So what if someone found it dead in the field. Put it in and put down that it was " found dead" If someone shot it with a crossbow put it in the Crossbow section. 90% let off? that' s cool it goes into the " compound 90%" section. Tradtional? same thing. How about road kill?

How about a section for " poached" Put the mug shot of the guys that did it. let everyone know that these violators are out there and their fellow hunters can see what kind of " sportsman" they are!
