NJ,
Is this Bow only?
Does it include other states besides PA & NJ. I would think not

It bow and gun. I never even thought about other states but I would say NJ and Pa only.

Why wouldn't it count other states? Its just for fun and its still the same challenge of harvesting a deer.

NJ's rules.
Lets keep the contest local. PA-NJ.
Sure have a few guys bring in a Saskatchewan Deer as ringers what fun is that for the rest of us sitting in the swamps of jersey pokin at piney deer.
Personally I rather have the Flavor of NJ - PA Deer. Start mixing in a few guys that can hunt outside the 2 states that would seem to be a bit unfair.
I know of 2 groups that hunt NC every year with Muzy/rifle. The hunt is soooo set up for them. The area is pre baited,hunters are driven out to a 20 foot blind told to sit there shoot anything that comes along. Don't move till 5 pm we will pick you up. Then my scouts will locate your deer while I drive you back for Supper.Your Deer will be boxed up and ready for your departure.
Guys shoot 3 Bucks and 5 Does in one sitting. Don't think its fare to the rest of us lets stick with PA - NJ
BTW I have no problem with those NC hunts. Some of the guys I know that do them are very good hunters. They enjoy that type of hunt every once in awhile. Nothing against them, the style or anyone else who chooses to hunt that way

I think most guys are local and hunt local. But It wouldnt bother me one way or another if they entered deer from outside the area. Without an inside measurement in the points you get no more credit for shooting a huge 8 pointer from canada rather than a 1 1/2 year old basket from the pines that had 8 points, so it doesent matter to me. Also NJ you should say now what a point is, some guys may still go by the "hang a ring on it". You will be an asshole if it comes down to your teams deer and another teams deer and you have to decide during the season. Think about all the rules and post them clearly now, or it will be a problem later.

As far as i'm concerned this was suppose to be something fun on the side of hunting, now the arguing has already begun. NJ, if the contest is limited to only NJ and PA I would like to resign from the contest and someone can have my spot on team 7. I don't plan on hunting NJ and I don't want to argue about petty bullshit.

Man you guys are fighting already. Thats kinda why I asked when you signed up for your name and location. This is all for fun so why fight about it hunt what ever state you want. Like upbow says an 8 point is 8 points if it scores 160 or if its a small basket. I dont want guys to quit. Now this brings up the question is it only whitetail or mulies and blacktail. I dont hunt out of state so you guys decide. As far as antler points a point must measure 1 inch to count if it is close take a picture next to a ruler. Now lets all hug and make up good luck all.

Voicing my opinion to keep things in the local state of local people hunting local deer.
Gee let me enter the Mid Atlantic Tuna Tournament and go fish for Yellowfins off of Cabo
If it is so petty why would you quit rather than concede?
Frankly just trying to keep somewhat of a even field.
Look at my statement about the NC hunts. Doent that speak of enough reasons?

I'd rather quit because I signed up thinking it was open playing grounds. Now that I know that any deer I shoot in NY doesn't count I'd rather give my spot on team 7 to someone who will be able to participate. I think your just jealous buddy guy ;)

No Im not Buddy Guy the blues musician and not jealous either.
As you can see NJ has allowed you to stay in and hunt where ever your heart desires.
Good Luck.

Ok guys its over everyone has said thier part. If you remember last year Ron and the other mods did not want to have a contest because of the fighting it causes. Its done. We are not going for a million dollar prize here. I never said before the sign ups that it was local only. That was my fault. It will be open to hunt any state maybe next year we will have a local contest.
