If you are going bow hunting, you MUST enter by October 1st. You must enter “BEFORE” you kill your deer (tags will be checked). The deer must be a legal kill (NO ROAD KILL). The deer must be taken in Michigan (tags will be checked). Antlers must be presented at the January Membership meeting for judging or verified by at least one board member if the antlers cannot be brought in. The antlers will be judged for the number of points and the largest outside spread. The contest is open to “Club Members Only”. The 1st prize award will be ½ of the total entry money. 2nd prize this year, instead of the best hunting story, will be given for best picture taken at deer camp, while hunting, or with a deer (dead or alive). To enter, place your entry fee in an envelope. Put your name, the date, and the words “Big Buck Contest” on the outside of the envelope and place the envelope in the safe at the club or give it to a Director or club Officer.
