Last Chance For Truck-Buck Entrants To Get Racks Measured For The Contest

A scoring event this Saturday, Feb. 27 at the GON office in Madison is last chance for Truck-Buck entrants to get their racks measured for the contest.

GON Staff | February 25, 2021

To compete for weekly prizes and a spot in the Truck-Buck Shoot-Out, an entrant’s rack must be officially scored during one of two GON scoring events. The final scoring event is this Saturday, Feb. 27 at the GON office in Madison. Last Saturday in Tifton we measured more than 100 racks at the other scoring event.

Only bucks entered in this season’s 2020-2021 Truck-Buck Contest/Youth Big Buck Contest will be measured during these events.

Any hunter with a buck entered in this season’s contest is invited to have the rack officially scored in Madison on Feb. 27. Racks can be dropped off from 9 a.m. until noon. No racks will be accepted after the noon deadline. All racks must be picked up at a time specified the day of the event, likely between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. All racks must be picked up by the specified end of the event.

It is impossible to return racks back in any order based on when they were dropped off. Also, we absolutely cannot accommodate special circumstances like a ball game, wedding, etc. and usher a rack through more quickly. Please bring patience! Winners will be required to take polygraph exams this spring at the GON office before competing in the Shoot-Out and earning contest prizes.

No mounted heads or racks with split skull plates will be scored. We will measure velvet racks. Entrants are not required to deliver or retrieve their racks in person. However, if the person retrieving the rack is someone other than the entrant, they must show their picture ID and a letter signed by the entrant saying who is picking up the rack. Everyone picking up a rack will be asked to show photo ID.

Directions to GON: From I-20 take the Madison/Hwy 441 exit, and go south 6 miles. Turn left at Seven Islands Road. GON is less than 1 mile on the left at 4331 Seven Islands Road, Madison, at the intersection of Bethany Church Road and Seven Islands Road.

    Are euro mounts accepted for measuring?

      Yes they are, but we do caution that the racks will be handled quite a bit by the official scorers — we always worry about how fragile parts of a European mount can be.
