RE: Official 2005 Gun Deer Contest Rules
Since this is my first entry I have a couple of questions.
1. I am eligable for three bucks between the two properties I hunt in Texas because they are in different zones. As far as "lucky states" go, do I still only get to enter the first or second deer or am I really lucky and possibly get to enter the 3rd buck if he is the "big one"!!?
2. Is the scoring to be done by a registered entity or is the scoring to be done on the "honor system" by the hunter according to B&C guidelines?
3. Besides the obvious answer of "at the end of the hunting season", when does this contest end.
Thanks for your time, Scott.

Hey Spike Hunter....I believe that you can only enter your first or second antlered deer, meaning that your third would not count.....sorry
Also, scoring, as I understand it, is just on the honor system. Off of the B&C website, all you have to do is fill in the measurements and it will give you the total score....its pretty easy. I hope no one uses a stretchable tape measure....scoring in that spike at 120"
Finally, I believe that the contest will probably be over around the new year, because of different states hunting regulations, so im guessing everything should be official within a month or so of that. Again, this is just how I think things will go.....
Also.....LETS GO TEAM #3!!!!
