It could fly. As a QDM supporter I would support such a contest. Although as a bow hunter I think it should be open to all legally harvested animal regardless of weapon used.

I think the best way to score and likely most accurate would be the same manner that bears are scored. Remove all the flesh from the skull (this can be done by boiling, bkeaching, or if you live by a college or university with a beetle collection you can have the beetles pick it clean). Measure the skull front to back and right to left, add the numbers and devide by two for a score in inches.

Most people would scoff at the idea of a doe contest but I think it's a good idea. Please consider opening the meathod of kill to include all hunters and I'd be glad to be the first on the sign up list.

Doctor D, I'm here in AL too, doubt we're going to find any 200lb kudzu eating critters down here,their often compared to dogs in size. Although, if we measure skull length and widthwe may be ok....I saw a doe that I knicknamed the anteater due to her long snout.....may their evolving to eat fireant....wouln't that be great!

Im game but i think that the deer should be scored by the distance between the ears. Thats what we have alway done at our deer camp.
