Since it has not been answered yet..............Bump
For those of you that enter your deer into"the book" Why do you do it, and what is the benefit?

I don't have a book qualifying Buck. If I did, I would probably enter it. In my den(decorated as a hunting room)where where my mounts and suchare..it would sit on the coffe table. It's a reflection of a pursuit, some would say a way of life...It's a piece of my life perserved for my enjoyment, and if my youngchildren decide it is a life style they wish to live..it's an achievementthat they may cherish and strive for.
If I should be soblessed to live to a ripe old age, and perhaps not be able to get out and chase the critters, I can sit back and relive the moments that brought me joy.

Well on that note..Why do many of us pay $300 and up to have our nice bucks mounted? It's enjoyable, we relish the hunt and the animal.

RE: Time to raise score to qualify for P&Y?
Can someone not just make donations to P&Y or any of the charities individually without entering a buck?
Here is some info on that project......
BTW free admission...... I wonder how the utilities get paid? OH, suckers like GregH and myself..... That's who.
Pope & Young Club / St. Charles Museum of Bowhunting
A Showcase of Bowhunting's Evolution
In the rolling hills and farmland of southeastern Minnesota, just minutes off of Interstate 90, lies the singular crowning testimony to North America's rich bowhunting heritage---a place to learn about bowhunting's history, a place to appreciate bowhunting's "rediscovery", a place to understand bowhunting's place in wildlife conservation and in our culture.

I bet if you weren't buying a line in a book the # of $25 checks coming in would go down a bit

I really do not have a beef with P&Y or anyone who enters deer into the Book.It just seems to be done more for self-gratification reasons than anything else, which is fine.
