I like the doe idea as well, I live in a lucky state and can harvest two buck. However I'm not going to take a buck just to have a score in the contest and screw up my herd management. For people like me who are looking for fully mature deer that we may or may not get a shot at depending on everything that can happen with hunting, a doe score would be a good way to contribute to the team that we may be placed on, even if you raise/lower the score to not hurt the average buck size. I can see where you are coming from too and don't want to start a tiff, this is just my two cents on the subject. I'm grateful that someone is taking time to run something like this and give everyone a chance to compete and am looking forward to contributing to whatever team I may land on with a Pike County Illinois GIANT!!
