The purpose of the "seeing the weapon" rule was just another way to help keep people honest and hopefully encourage people to take classy after the kill photos. We really don't need the rule and I was

OK, I'll just add to this discussion to help clarify a few things (IMO).     The confirmation number ultimately will drive the validity of an entry.  All animals will be verified with NJDFW before a

You can enter up to two does in the contest, for 20 total points. So if you don't kill a buck, you're still contributing 20 points to your team if you can kill two does.   No fee, but you can donate

Ask any and all questions about the contest here and someone will do their best to answer them. THANK YOU!!!!

 

To start I'll try to clearly answer Axioms question.

 

 

Ok so when i get a 10 pointer and enter it, then i get a 12 pointer and enter it, BOTH will add points to my teams total?.. or will the 12 pointer negate the 10 pointer?.. Will all does submitted per team member be counted also?... :confused:

 

 

Your 12 pointer will negate the 10 pointer. Hunters can enter up to TWO deer, but only one can be antlered.

 

That brings us to your next question.

 

You can enter TWO does, worth 10 points each. HOWEVER, if you shoot a buck after entering your does, one of your does will be negated and you will have a buck and a doe entered. You can never have more than TWO deer entered per hunter and again, only ONE can be antlered.

 

 

Hope that clears it up.

 

Best of luck John. -Matt

Ok Great.. Now, one last question... Is there a limit to the # of buck upgrades?...  say i get a 10 pointer for fall bow (  and im pretty sure i will )  and then i upgrade to  a 12 pointer for permit bow ( which will probably happen ) .. can i then UPGRADE AGAIN when i get a 14 pointer during shot gun?.. and then upgrade again when i get a 16 pointer for permit shot gun?.. and one last up grade when i get an 18 pointer for winter bow ( not likely to happen BTW ) ?... And what if someone gets a non typical?..  Will the non typical qualify in the "Number of points" system?...

:D

First of all, I want to hunt where-ever you're planning on hunting. LOL

 

Secondly, no limit on upgrades as long as you're within the legal limits for NJ.

 

Finally, non-typical bucks will be scored the same as typical bucks. Number of points, plus inside spread credit points, plus 10 points for being a deer.

 well, normally i wouldnt have a problem with that because i'm really not a big time trophy hunter.. I just like to go out and harvest some animals. Doesnt really matter that much what i bring home...but under the current circumstances.. well, you know how it is sooo....  FORGET IT... PAL... :down:

 

 

 

 On another note... The point system presents a bit of a dilemma for me.. :dramaqueen: ... I got a couple 10 pointers on cam with a decent spred but they arent particularly big.. normally i'd give them a pass and look for them next year but,  If i take a more mature and larger 8 , and im onto a few of those, they wouldnt score as much as the younger, smaller 10s sooo.... :think:

:D

ok so if I go out and shoot does, not really into shooting bucks ( cant eat the antlers ). than how many points do I get... and also is there a fee or a charge for this?

 

You can enter up to two does in the contest, for 20 total points. So if you don't kill a buck, you're still contributing 20 points to your team if you can kill two does.

 

No fee, but you can donate to the winnings if you'd like. There is a link to donate on the upper right hand corner of the site. Donations will remain open up until right around the end of the contest. So feel free to give when you can, if you can.

 

Good luck!
