I'm sorry , I don't know what the criminals are doing, I would think most violators are not involved in a contest , I'm sure that happens sometimes ,I just think most violators are either shooting after hours or on the side of the road or trespassing and hunting without consent, surely those or more common .it's sad some people ruin it for everybody. We should be able to hunt and compete if that's your thing and the criminals should and will get theirs , expecially if some of us good old boys competing catch em. Good hunting this evening I saw a buck a baby then the momma then 2 foxes then another buck, . I think most people would have shot the bucks , honestly I would have liked to have taken the second buck but I have spent the last 2 days processing the 2nd hog I took and I really hate to shoot my buck and end my season so soon . Wait till its cold and the acorns are gone , should see more of everything, Goodluck n God bless
