Cody Gay Wins GON’s Youth Shoot-Out
Kids qualified by taking the best buck during the 17 weeks of last deer season.

Cody Gay, 16, of Nicholls, collected a $3,000 shopping spree from Adventure Outdoors after winning GON’s Youth Big-Buck Contest Shoot-Out on July 28 at GON’s Outdoor Blast. In addition, Cody won a dream deer and hog hunting trip with Woods-N-Water outfitters in Wilkinson County.
Cody was the only one of 17 shooters who hit the Round 6 target, a mini Nilla wafer at 25 feet. The competition, which gets progressively harder by distance and target size, hasn’t gotten to the most difficult target—a Rolaids tablet—since Holden Hines won the competition in 2021.
