Thats EXACTLY the way the Mathews board's contest runs, Bawana.....so it isn't far-fetched". They count scoreable points + 5 for a buck......and 5 for a doe.

Careful what you stir up....

Its funny that forks and fawns seem to like the idea and lifers and Non-Typicals do not.
There are those who need to cull does from their land and those who just hope to get a shot on one.

Some one will always find a way to complain about everything.

I'm just trying to be open minded, and also why I shoot a Hoyt.

Leave it the way it is. If you want to have a contest to include doe then do just that have a doe contestyou can go by wght or what ever.Like others have said I dont have a doe issue and as of now am not taking any.I dont like the idea that someone would shot a bunch of does to to get points in a contest and you know that would happen.BUT THATS ME

I like the idea, but I understand the old timers (on the forum, that is) not wanting change. I think a separate "nanny whacker" contest may be the answer. Just my opinion.

Im pretty new around here and i dont want to "stir the pot" in any way, but i have a few thoughts that might be valid. Its fair to say that Rob who runs the contest does a lot of work and everyone debating this topic should recognize that fact and maybe rethink how they are arguing there point of view. Unless everyone is willing to step up and run the contest yourself, i would make your vote, state your opinion on the matter and cut bait. Lastly, i really enjoy coming on here to talk about hunting, lets not make it another place to argue. Im all for adding doesto the competition because where i live it is incredibly difficult to bring down a buck of that magnitude, i have a hard enough time seeing deer, nevermind being choosy with racks, i wish i could, but thats not the reality of it. Id love to get in on the contest but i could never hope to make a bigbuck contribution to my team. My .2 cents.

Striketrue,Its not a BIG BUCK contest its just teams having fun showing off thier bucks and smack talkin and stuff like that.Not all those bucks are big bucks such as mine. But we all seem to be happy with what we got.Thats the problem with this contest is I dont think everyone is showing what they got because they dont feel it stacks up and thats not right.IMO

My basic point was that not everyone has the oppurunity to kill a SINGLE buck all season, and its unfortunate that guys like myself cant participate. However, i respect what you guys have going and its not my place to force change. Once again, my 0.2 cents
