Points per doe?
 

how many points will the teams be awarded for each doe killed? i had heard that points would be added but noone said how many.

RE: Points per doe?
 

The archery contest going on at AcheryTalk.com is allowing 50 points per doe per person.

I think this sounds like a fair number to use here as well.

RE: Points per doe?
 

yeah that's what i was thinking would work best. who would decide that on here though??? deer slayer?

RE: Points per doe?
 

I belive so, yes.

The way they made it sound in the initial contest post that all does that were entered per team would be scored at the end of the contest and added as a bonus to the team's final score.

To me that sounds complicated.

I would set a score (50 points per doe) and add that to the team's score as each doe is entered. That seems a lot more simple to me. We as archers follow the KISS mindset with our equipment so I don't see why that shouldn't be carried over to running the contest.

RE: Points per doe?
 

I was told that does would only be used as a tie breaker.

Taken from the initial contest post;

RE: Points per doe?
 

i think it would definately make more sense to have a set # of points for each doe.

RE: Points per doe?
 

I talked to deerslayer and he said they would be used in bonus round. Whether he changed it I don't know.

RE: Points per doe?
 

what kinda bonus round would there be???

RE: Points per doe?
 

i guess its about my time to chime in lol. The original thoughts we're that does would just count as one point and we would use them as a tiebreaker. we would combine the total number of does per team doublelung and myself figured 5 people 5 does= 5pts. that was our original thought. We don't really want to go changing things during the contest but i will talk to doublelung and we'll decide if we are just going to let it stand or change it. I said all along that does would be counted as a bonus which they are. I'll get back to you folks on this topic.

RE: Points per doe?
 

Either way would be fine by me

RE: Points per doe?
 

To be honest with you,I don't thinka doe will not win the contest. It may help the teams that do not get any bucks (if that happens), but it won't help the teams that get bucks.

RE: Points per doe?
 

I honestly think that a doe should be worth more than 1 - 5 points.

How degrading to the animal is that?

A buck is going to score anywhere from 50 - 200 points relatively speaking and yet because of what they are we're only going to award 1 - 5 points per doe?

That just seems wrong to me, but if that's how y'all want to run the contest then that's fine.

RE: Points per doe?
 

yeah i'm gonna have to second that. that just doesn't seem right for the a doe to count so much less than a buck just because it doesn't have antlers. i think 50 points would be the least amount we should count them as.

RE: Points per doe?
 

Doublelung and myself decided does will be scored as 25points. We decided on 25 because some of the bucks in this contest may score less than 50 and we dont want the doe score being higher than the buck score so we decided on 25pts per doe. Thanks for your patience.

RE: Points per doe?
 

Wash, I thought you could only shoot one deer a year. Is that true?

Now that the does count as 25 points that should help. I was told that they would only count in a tie breaker round.

RE: Points per doe?
 

Yes Zak, we're only allowed one deer per year.

However, Washington State allows hunters to put in for a drawing for a second, antlerless only deer tag. I drew one this year.

I suppose 25 points is better than 1 - 5 points, but the way you guys are thinking still throws me. You don't want a doe to score more than a buck. That still seems degrading to the animal to me. Maybe I've just grown to respect the animals a bit more, but if you shoot a buck that scores less than 50 points, well...

RE: Points per doe?
 

That 25 points may help a team out ALOT

RE: Points per doe?
 

Just so I'm clear on this it's 1 doe per person correct? So if I get 2 doe it still counts as 25 points

RE: Points per doe?
 

you may regester your 1st doe kill. only one doe per person may be registered and it has to be your first doe of the year and also killed with a bow. a picture with u and deer and bow needs 2 be included for proof of the kill. a breif story of how u harvested it would also be cool. everyone enjoys reading hunting stories on here so that'd be cool to post a story of the hunt. ;)

ya that sounds great 25pts man only 58 more days before i hits the woods can't wait[&:]
