The Fab 40: Top Georgia Bucks Of 2021
The 2021-2022 season came in at about average for top-end bucks, but it’s Georgia... average here is pretty dang stellar!
GON Staff | July 28, 2022
The Fab 40 is GON’s annual compilation of Georgia’s best bucks from the previous season. With a tie at No. 40, there are actually 41 bucks listed this year. Tracking down photos of these bucks is a challenge, but we got all but one for this year’s feature.
The Fab 40 provides a great way to compare how a deer season stacks up against previous seasons for high-scoring bucks. The chart on page 39 includes the 20-year average of how many bucks crack the 150-class benchmark, the 160-mark, and how many scored high enough to qualify for the all-time Boone & Crockett record book. Last season was right at the 20-year average in all three categories.
The full hunt stories for most of this year’s Fab 40 bucks can be found online at GON.com, along with additional photos of many of the deer.
