What about the southern states like Florida, Alabama, the Carolina's, etc who's rut doesn't get into full swing until the contest ends? They have to hope to shoot their buck early on pre-rut, when we all know your best chance is during the rut. How would you feel if your most opportunistic time of year to shoot a buck did not fall within the deadlines of this contest? Does it seem fair to everyone? This was brought up to Christine last year, but the contest was already underway so we obviously couldn't expect a change. With the new one starting, it should certainly be discussed or considered by the moderators.
