I was wondering if you’ve given any thought to going back to allowing out of state hunters to participate in your 2020 contest? I saw that you allowed out of state turkeys in the 2020 Turkey Contest.
I am hopeful that you will find a way to eliminate the problem that caused you to disallow out of state entries without alienating the members of your site that have the opportunity to hunt outside of Indiana.
Better to start the conversation now, than wait until October to be disappointed.

Should just make all "Hunting Indiana" contests for Indiana game only. Simple.

I think the problem was that a few guys signed up themselves and their buddies, then literally the only posts they ever made here was to check in their deer from all over the country and run away with the contest. I have no idea why, when there are no real prizes and it's all for fun.
I asked a couple of the guys some friendly questions about their deer and got no response. I'm sure they didn't even read my posts.
I kill more deer outside of Indiana these days than in-state. I can still post those deer and share the camaraderie I come here for. The fact that it doesn't count for a fun-time contest doesn't really bother me.
I hope nobody feels alienated or doesn't post because of these contest rules. I enjoy reading about everyone's hunts, from here or elsewhere. I know that there are a lot of others that do as well.

It sucks to exclude people who are active members from a contest because of a bad egg or two. I’d like to see it brought to where we can count out state deer but put a limit or something we have time to figure it out

Greetings Lol You and everyone over there take care, keep your powder dry soon be deer season for you all. We are still off work but there we go. Heard today a man down south actually called two roe bucks to himself and shot one of them, it is two months early for the rut, certainly strange times. Regards Billy

The funny part about all this is that Ohio and Indiana DNR's worked together in the past so deer gun hunting dates didn't overlap each other. It's nice to go from Indiana gun season right to Ohio gun season. Same true for muzzleloader season. Now with bow technology the gun and muzzleloader seasons are not as important dates as in the past.
