That sounds like a good idea. Last year we had a "buck of the month" where all deer killed during that month were submitted. We then chose the best deer, (overall points, mass, uniqueness, story involved with the kill, etc.) The winner was posted on the homepage and got a gift pack from our sponsor down wind scents. We are going to do the same thing this year. Unless anyone has another idea that may work better. Open to suggestions.

How about something for the junior hunters,either require them to have a jr hunter`s license or be enrolled in school grades 1-12. Unless we start cultivating some more young people they will be lost to the tv or video games.If they get any deer (not just a monster or first deer)have them write a sentence or two ,not a story that their parents or mentors do for them or fill out a brief questionnaire that does the hard work for them.There are few things that beat seeing your kid or any kid with a deer they got with some patience ,practice and hard work. Getting a hat ,t-shirt or a gift certificate to a local outdoor store (Fred`s heres your chance) would make their day and they would tell everyone how great the whole experience was. Do one Sept thru Jan and get 5 kids or create a first deer award and make it a festival.

That sounds like a GREAT idea! Young buck contest. Ages under 18? We'll make that happen.

I think a under 18 buck contest would be great. Git the kids out of the house and off of the playstation.
