Im in if you have one. While I am not a trophy hunter it just could add a little more excitement. Some have said they arent interested in a contest but I dont see why no matter what size animal you kill it should be something your proud of. Regardless if it is a spike (where legal) or a world record if your proud enough to harvest it than there should be no pride issues to enter it into a simple contest for fun...

I am proud and grateful for every animal I harvest (not to mention a little sad at the taking of its life) A contest would do nothing to further my enjoyment of the outdoors! Not that anyone needs my approval but I have no problem with others that choose to enter in a friendly contest

That is how I feel. Harvesting the animal is the reward I do not need another prize. Wining a contest doesn't make the winner a better hunter than the others competing, it is more a matter of luck, so why a prize for being lucky? I have seen too many times where people have done things that were unlawful and or unethical to win hunting contests. I am not indicating anyone here would do that to win, I am just telling what has led me to my opinion on hunting contests.
