If you wish to kill antlerless bucks feel free to do what you want, you won't get any points for it though ;D That's a big reason why I changed from 2 bucks allowed to be entered down to 1. My main focus is the preservation of bucks in my hunting style , so I also promote the contest the same way. I can't control what anyone shoots nor would want to but I can control what counts 
;D
