I was thinking (Yeah, I know) we on the board undervalue females. So in order to help make amends I suggest making does worth 8 points. This would make them more valuable than a spike and we'd be doing our part for those who want to see bigger bucks in the future. Never let it be said we don't do our part for QDM, etc..........................(Sigh, I really need to get out more )

sounds like a good idea to me (even if it did come from a female) J/K... I like that idea.... we should push does more in the contest.

I was messing with you because if you reread your original post... it sounds like you are calling yourself a female.

Hmm... "we on the board undervalue females" - I suppose it could be more likely to said by a female. Oh well, see what I get for being silly. Don't suppose it will buy me any brownie points with the women on here anyway!

You guys are going to make me have to learn how to use a calculator.. Another thing we could do is just count bucks by number of points without the 5 added to it. That way unless a buck had 6 points (3 X 3) or better they would count the same as a doe. Doesn't matter to me as this is you all's contest. All us staff does is try and keep score. We don't care as long as we don't have to use "formulas" to figure out each score..

I kind of like that idea of doe counting more points than a buck. The guys who are killing the doe are the ones who are doing the most to help the IDNR manage the deer herd.
Reverse the scoring system as it was last year. Count bucks as 1, doe as 5 and button bucks as 1 and require a picture to score. h.h.

OR does = +5 + the circumference of their neck or length of head and bucks stay same +5+points. Or maybe that's too complicated LOL.

For those of you who want to see pics, are you going to buy me a new camera (or the software to get the pics off of my phone)?
Tags are expensive enough...

I figured that might be a problem for some percentage of the group when I read the suggestion. I'm against requiring pictures, but love to see them if you can.
