Steve,
Would it be worth it to you to stick them and keep them cool, or catch them again if the money pot was large enough?
Or would you just enter the gun division on the ones that get a 22?
BTW, Those were some nice cutters on that hog a few weeks ago. Very impressive
Let me start by stating that I/We entered the TDHA/Hunters Harvest contest because it was a good cause, not because we were playing to win. Also, because it was a good cause we did stick several pigs which we would not have otherwise (when we were on the ranch with a walk in cooler). Next year we will enter the TDHA/HH contest again and we will hunt the same way, no matter what the rules. If we have anything worth weighing in, we will fall into what ever category we fall into based on the active rules and our method. We will not change our method solely for the purpose of playing in one devision as opposed to another. Winning is not that important to me. I just hope that we have more to donate next year.
That being said, in any other contest, no it would not be worth it to stick them and keep them cool nor would it be worth it to catch them again(to me). Keeping them cool is a lot bigger pain than keeping them alive is and if you stick them....... well, there is no coming back from dead. Think of it like a bass tourny. Keeping fish in the live well allows the fisherman to cull their catch while not wasting a valuable resource. Same idea here, I don't want them all dead, just the biggest ones. So far as catching them again, not worth the risk in my book.
So, I guess that we would just fall into the gun division............
I hope that makes sense. I am typing as fast as I can at work
Oh, and thanks!
Steve
