can we reiterate the ground rules for those new to the game?

I understand them to be:

1. must be a buck
2. must have bare antler (buttons under skin don't count)
3. Judges may be swayed by bribery
3A. this may work against you if said bribe is inadequate
4. Must include some short description of harvest
5. ALL submissions will be considered in the DAT
5A. Mature Bucks with obesely large antlers submitted MAY result in a temporary ban from the DAT not to exceed 1 (calendar) year OR deer *season

* We realize some deer seasons may run into the new year or may be completely different i.e. living in the southern hemisphere. in such cases submissions must be held no more than 6 months to coincide with the majorities "season" of hunting.


Cool points MAY be awarded for the following: good story, rare rifle/cartridge, "pool pics" with said deer and Uniqueness (caliber/rifle/antler growth).

am I missing any?
