If you shot a P&Y qualifier this fall would you enter it?

Not sure about the p&y entering system, but when i entered the hoosier book they took the three pictures there after scoring the buck, side to side and frontal.
ORIGINAL: Cougar Mag
I didn't vote in the poll for this reason: it would have to score at least 150 or bigger for me to enter him. Just me
. I have two on the wall that would qualify, but never did enter them.
Not sure if the rules have changed but anyone who wishes to enter a buck in the record book better make sure they take the appropriate pictures. I believe it to be at least 3 pictures, with one pic taken from the front and one from each side.........but don't hold me to that. Also make sure you have a witness(s) willing to sign a paper saying you took it by fair chase hunting.

I think that P & Y is a great organization, but I probably won't enter mine in there because I know alotof people use the record books to look for areas to hunt and I wouldn't want to help draw attention to where I hunt. I know that some have mentioned that the deer deserves it then maybe P & Y should go by the gross score so that the buck gets credit for all the antler growth. Just my opinion.

Probably not. It has nothing to do with the organization....I just don't see the point. I have no problems submiting the data...just don't care to jump through their hoops. Id probably have the buck scored. If my buck from last year makes 100"...it'll make "book" in my state bowhunter's association (of which I am a member). I may enter it, there....and I may enter a P&Y qualifier, there...though I doubt it.
If someone were to explain to me a valid reason why I should (other than to get my name in a book)....I could be swayed. Once the animal's scored, though.....I guess "I" would know....which is all that's important to me.
Nothing wrong with it.....just no interest, here.
