Why change it? It's a good rule. Picture doesn't have to be one at the moment of kill. Only a hermit wouldn't be able to eventually have someone take his picture within the requirements, and, I'd bet even money even he could get it done.
That's one of the problems with law,rule changes in general. Create them to address the few, rather than the majority.
Rule 7 is so basic, if someone can't follow it IMHO, se la vei.
My next issue is, what does this have to do with the lack of participants this year. That's a redd herring, IMHO.
Let's play devils advocate. Why have the deer in the picture? Your providing the score. Why have a gun in the picture? These three rules help keep people honest. Sure the filthiest of the filthy will figure how to outlaw, always have, always will. Fortunately, IMHO, they are a minority.
