Dream Trip To Adventure Outdoors

Next up for Holden Hines is a trip to Woods-N-Water to try out one of his new guns.

Brad Gill | October 6, 2021

Last month we told you Holden Hines won the GON Youth Shoot-Out at the Outdoor Blast. The 14-year-old from Macon wasted little time in getting up to Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna to make good on the $3,000 shopping spree that he won.

The winner of the 2020-21 GON Youth Big-Buck Contest Shoot-Out, Holden Hines, 14, used his $3,000 shopping spree at Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna to collect a new deer rifle and a shotgun from owner Eric Wallace. Keep up with all the great outdoor deals at Adventure Outdoors at www.adventureoutdoors.us

Holden chose a Beretta shotgun and a Christensen Arms rifle, two prizes that’ll last him a lifetime before he hands them down to his kids one day.

Next on the agenda for Holden is a dream hunting trip for deer and hogs in Johnson County with our friend Blaine Burley at Woods-N-Water. Holden will be spending the youth weekend at the lodge where he’ll get to enjoy some good fishing in between time on the stand.

As Holden enjoys his prize package, we’ve got our eyes out for who’s next. Someone will be standing in Holden’s shoes this time next year. 

Make sure your GON subscription is up to date. You don’t want to deliver bad news when your young ’un shoots a buck and says, “Daddy, make sure you enter it in the GON Youth Contest for me….”
