The annual Outdoor News Best Buck Contest awards great prizes to winners from the seven states in our service area!
This is a photography contest. Outdoor News would rather support the idea of athletes and sportswomen enjoying the experience and creating memories than focusing solely on antler size. The judging system will be based on the quality of the photo, including composition and clarity.
A panel of judges representing various interests will be selected in the coming weeks to support select the final winners. The contest is for either archery or firearms. Make sure everyone in your hunting group carries a camera this deer season. Every deer has a chance to win!
The awards are given in Outdoor News contests in the following states: Minnesota, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and New York. The grand prize winners from Minnesota, Wisconsin and Pennsylvania receive Mathews Phase4 Bowand the grand prize winners in New York, Illinois, Ohio and Michigan receive Gearhead Archery Disrupter Pro 24 Bow.
