Text Box: Your participation in our 2007 brag board was so greatly appreciated that Godfrey and I have decided to take your trophies to the next level for 2008. GTS is proud to announce…

 A Big Buck Contest

	The contest will start on October 1st and end on December 31st. Both categories, typical and non typical deer will qualify. Each deer entered will be scored by Godfrey using the Boone and Crocket and the Pope and Young scoring method. This is the best and most accurate method and has been used for centuries in measuring big game animals. 
	We have decided to split this contest into two different categories.

RULES:

I.

Rules of fair chase apply as outlined below:

 

The underlying principle of fair chase is ethical, legal pursuit of wild, free-ranging game in a manner which does not give the hunter an improper or unfair advantage over the animal. The term “Fair Chase” shall not include the taking of animals under the following conditions:

1. Helpless in a trap, deep snow or water, or on ice.

2. From any power vehicle or power boat.

3. While confined behind fences as on game farms etc.

4. By “jacklighting” or shining at night.

5. By the use of any tranquilizers or poisons.

6. By the use of any power vehicles for herding or driving animals, including use of aircraft to land alongside or to communicate with or direct a hunter on the ground.

7. By the use of electronic devices for attracting, locating or pursuing game, or guiding the hunter to such game, or by the use of a bow or arrow to which any electronic device is attached.

8. Any other condition considered by the Board of Directors as unsportsmanlike.
