Truck-Buck Scoring Results 2024-25 Season

Bob Coombs’ Week 1 buck was the highest-scoring deer in the Truck-Buck contest. His Fulton County bow-buck netted 165 6/8 inches.

It took two weekends, a trip to Tifton and one to Madison, and some pretty dedicated manpower to keep the wheels oiled and moving, but GON measured 198 bucks last month to figure out who’s going to join us for GON’s showcase event of the year, the Truck-Buck Shoot-Out at the Ag-Pro GON Outdoor Blast the last weekend in July. At that event, one GON subscriber will drive home—literally—in a brand-new pickup truck from contest sponsor John Megel Chevrolet.

If you’re keeping score, this will be truck 36 we have given away in GON’s big-buck contest.

For Truck-Buck, the 17 hunters who had the top-scoring buck during a week of deer season have now earned spots in the Truck-Buck Shoot-Out. In addition, GON invites four more to the Shoot-Out under the heading of “wildcard winners.” Those wildcard winners come from the best bucks taken by a youth, lady and public-land that didn’t win one of the 17 weeks. Our last wildcard goes to the highest-scoring buck in the contest that didn’t win a week.

That brings our total to 21 hunters who will join us for the Truck-Buck Shoot-Out. It’s awesome to see!

The Truck-Buck Shoot-Out is a pellet-rifle competition to decide who wins the John Megel Chevrolet truck. Again for this year’s Shoot-Out, the second-best shot in the Shoot-Out goes home with a Firminator G-3 food-plot implement by Ranew’s Outdoor Equipment.

The prizes don’t stop with a John Megel Chevrolet truck and a Firminator G-3. With $75,000 in prizes, everyone who qualified for the Shoot-Out has won some pretty impressive hunting goodies.

The four weekly winners during archery season (Weeks 1-4) earn an Obession bow. A CVA Optima V2 muzzleloader (retail value $459) will go to the Week 5 primitive-weapons/youth season winner, and the 11 winners during firearms season (Weeks 6-17) each will receive a Savage Storm 110 deer rifle (retail value $989).

In addition, the 17 weekly winners will receive an HSS safety harness and a prize package from 4S Advanced Wildlife Solutions. The coveted Shoot-Out shirts for all Truck-Buck contestants are again possible thanks to our friends at Realtree.

The four wildcard winners in the Truck-Buck contest earn prize packages that include Shoot-Out jerseys from Realtree, a $250 gift certificate from AgriSupply, a Rugged Road Outdoors 85V2 cooler, an HSS safety harness, and a prize package from 4S Advanced Wildlife Solutions.

GON also conducts a separate contest for kids, the Youth Big-Buck Contest. Those 17 weekly qualifiers have their very own Shoot-Out with a BB gun. Click Here For Youth Big-Buck Contest Results.

GON deer contests and the Georgia Deer Records are determined after the official scoring of racks done by certified Boone & Crockett measurers using the Boone & Crockett/Pope & Young system. Scores are B&C/P&Y net. To compare typical versus non-typical racks, divide the net scores into the minimums for B&C all-time record books; 170 for typicals and 195 for non-typicals. The higher percentage ranks higher. This same system for comparing and rating typicals vs. nontypicals applies to the Georgia Deer Records and County-by-County rankings.
