I like the idea of captains voting on the idea. Once all the teams check in and captains are chosen this will be the first major point of discussion in each group. Then the captains can all vote and the rule can either be struck down or voted in before the season starts.
I would suggest we have 3 different choices for the captains to vote on-
1) Keep the contest as is
2) Each hunter may enter 1 Buck & 1 Doe in any order. The hunter must enter the first buck and doe taken.
3) Each hunter may enter 1 Doe after they have entered a buck into the contest.
If the "Doe rule" is voted in I think it should be left to Fieldmouse to decide the points given for a Doe.
Fieldmouse, I think you are doing a great job and I am glad you’re taking the time to help put this contest on for the rest of us. Last year was my first year in the contest and while I was not able to take a buck with my bow I still loved talking with my team and learning how people in other parts of the country hunt, and seeing pictures. I really think thats what this contest is really all about. I can't thank you enough for continuing the contest and trying to make it enjoyable for all involved.
