Thanks! 70 lbs, huh? This is kinda what I'm looking for but I would want to give the members a little more allowance. I don't want to be too strict. We had a mature hunter shoot a 35 lb BB last year. REALLY? I'm like: "How or why would you ever be convinced that this deer was a doe?"

I'm thinking maybe 50 or 60 lbs. So... if a member brings in a 50 lb BB, there would be a fine. 51 lbs... no fine and chalk it up as a mistake. Or that number could be 60 lbs.

I just want to do what's fair and reasonable.
