Why is this? Bowhunting Contest Question?
I don't know whether ithas been discussed before but why doesn't the bowhunting contest include shooting does. You could have 1 doe percontestantequal to a set value of x and if everyone on the team shoots their doe they get the max points from does.As hunters, I believe we should doour share of shooting does for populations controlsas well astheQDMA benefits so many peoplehere know.The buck aspect is still there in the contesttohave a variablethatisnot fixed to have point differentials...but I am just wonderingwhynot have doesincluded in the contest for next year?

RE: Why is this? Bowhunting Contest Question?
The contest must be fair to all
Not to make excuses for other huntersbut those that live and huntin the midwest certainly have a much better chance of scoring more inches than those that live and hunt in deep South, California, etc... A 100" Florida deer is about like shooting a 150" Illinois deer. While it certainly ins't "fair" it is what it is.
While I don't get involved in these contests becauseI have no way of winning against a team of Midwest hunters (I hunt Florida)I personally think does should be "scored" in these contests.

Some states only allow a hunter to shoot one deer. The contest must be fair to all

Now lets be totally honest here. It's not exactly fair to begin with now is it?
