My 2 cents, for what it is worth. I think the TBBR is heading in the right direction now in getting more people involved in entering their game just by letting everyone know what needs to be done to get something entered. I had no knowledge of what needed to be done prior to this past spring turkey season. I had to email the past TBBR chairman and ask what I needed to do to enter a turkey if I was to kill one. I would not have known to weigh the bird and have a witness if under 20 pounds or have it weighed on a certified scale if over 20 pounds. I killed a javelina and wanted to enter it, I had no idea that I just needed to have the skull measured, I had gutted the javelina and then weighed it, not needing to now. I thought maybe they were scored by weight like in the big deer contest when someone enters a hog or javelina. I still really don't know what I would have to do if I was to stick some type of fish, either weigh, measure or both. It has always been in the LSBA magazine to get you game entered, but there never was anything about what needed to be done to get the game entered. Now about the let off. I really can't say if I am for or against. I was not able to enter my 140 class whitetail in P&Y because of the let off and being that it was killed from behind a 2200 acre high fence pasture. Now with the new rules, I could make the letoff requirement, but still would not becasue of the high fence. No big deal, I still have a nice deer and it wasn't a canned hunt, and it still scores 140. In several more years, when it is time to buy a new bow, I will get one of the best bows that is avaliable, if I am needing a new bow. Hopefully by then I will have changed to traditionial equipment by then. Now this will be the last thing I will say on the issue. Whatever % we choose for the letoff, that is not going to be our issue in keeping our archery stamp alive or keeping our own archery season. :wink:
