Concept:

Beginning on June 1st, 2013 the Maryland Crossbow Federation is terminating its practice of accepting big game entries into its award programs that were harvested prior to the hunter becoming a Maryland Crossbow Federation member.

Beginning on June 1st, 2013 a person MUST be a Maryland Crossbow Federation member prior to the animals harvest, in order for that animal to be eligible for any Big Game challenges and registration into the Maryland Crossbow Federation's BIG GAME REGISTER.

Rational:

Hunters are harvesting an animal, then joining the Maryland Crossbow Federation for $20.00, then receiving $85.00 in benefits and then not renewing their membership.
This practice is costing the Maryland Crossbow Federation's general membership too much money.

This practice is counter productive to what our awards program is trying to accomplish, which is to REWARD ITS CURRENT MEMBERS. The new concept will stimulate the recruitment and retainment of our general membership.
