How The Weeks Were Won: Truck-Buck 2015-2016 Season

Another Georgia deer hunter will soon drive away from the Outdoor Blast in a new pickup truck as the grand prize winner in GON’s Truck-Buck Shoot-Out.

We met the first half of the prestigious 2016 Shoot-Out field last month in the June issue of GON. This month we meet the winners from Weeks 9-17, plus more of our wildcard winners.

The Truck-Buck Shoot-Out is a pellet-rifle competition that’s the finale of GON’s big-buck contest. There will be preliminary North vs. South heads-up matches on Saturday, July 30, and the Truck-Buck finals will be Sunday, July 31. During the finals on Sunday, the last shooter standing will earn a new truck from John Megel Chevrolet, and the second-best shot will win a Beast Ultimate Hunting Buggy. The weekly winners who win their heads-up matches on Saturday earn either a bow from Mathews, a Browning rifle or a CVA muzzleloader. Weekly winners who lose preliminary matches win Hunter Safety System harnesses and Tinks prize packages. All contestants win Shoot-Out shirts from Realtree.

The Infinite Energy Center in Duluth (formerly the Gwinnett Center) is again hosting GON’s Outdoor Blast and Truck-Buck Shoot-Out.
