		BRUSH COUNTRY BIG BUCK CONTEST RULES & REGULATIONS

	Hunters must register at any of the registration locations or on line at the website, before the animal is harvested. The hunter must provide his/her home address, phone number, e-mail address, and proof of age for hunters 18 years and younger. Hunters 18 years old and younger must provide parent or guardians name, address, e-mail address, and phone number. The registration fee is $20.00 per hunter per deer. The registration fee may be paid in cash, check, or by Paypal if registering on line. (Sorry, no refunds will be given) All registrants will receive a complimentary Brush Country Big Buck Contest Cap. All applicable game laws must be followed in the hunt. Any animal taken in an illegal manner is automatically disqualified; the hunter is disqualified, and forfeits his/her entry fee. All hunts will be conducted in an ethical manner. All winners must be willing to submit to a polygraph exam at the request of the contest scoring committee. The contest scoring committee’s decision is final in all matters. The Buckmaster “Full-Credit Scoring System” will be used in accordance with their rule book. The composite score of antler and inside spread will be the determining factor of score for all animals. In case of ties the earliest registration wins. Each animal/hunter may win only one category. A hunter may win more than one category with more than one animal. If the hunter wishes to enter two bucks he/she must pay the second registration fee before the harvest of the second buck. The judges score and decisions are final. Check in and scoring of animals will be from 9am to 4pm Monday through Saturday and 1pm to 4pm on Sunday. The check in location is Brush Country Taxidermy in George West TX. All hunters must check in with their field dressed, fresh killed, (within 24 hours of harvest) animals and be photographed. (Sorry, no skull plates only or caped deer may be entered.) The hunter will be given a complimentary photograph. The photographic image is the property of Brush Country Big Buck Contest and may be used on the leader board, website, and in any other promotional materials or advertisements for the contest. There will be high fence and low fence divisions for all categories. Low fence property is defined as property with no game proof fence on it or has at least one mile of it’s perimeter with no game proof fence. High fence property is defined as property enclosed with deer proof fencing or in properties that have less than one mile of low or no fence on its perimeter. The overall property is considered when making this determination. A low fence pasture in a high fence ranch does not qualify for low fence division. High fence ranches must have at least 200 acres of uninterrupted area for deer to roam/ hide. ALL HUNTERS AGE 13 AND UNDER WHO BRING IN AN ANIMAL, AND ANY HUNTER BRINGING IN THE FIRST BUCK EVER HARVESTED WILL BE PHOTOGRAPHED AND RECOGNIZED ON THE LEADER BOARD AND WEBSITE. The criteria for 6, 7, and 8 point bucks, in both youth and Big 8 categories, is that they must be “natural” any broken points or non measurable points do not make them eligible for these categories. Judges decisions are final. Prizes and awards will be given at the awards and kickoff lunch, in George West TX., on the opening weekend of the south zone dove season 2008 in a location to be announced. Winners may be asked to bring their winning mounts/horns.
