Truck-Buck, Youth Contest Scoring Event Dates And Details

The Madison Community Center and Gym at 1253 College Drive in Madison is the location for GON’s March 15 scoring event to measure racks entered in the 2024-2025 Truck-Buck and Youth Big-Buck Contests.

If you have a buck entered the GON Truck-Buck Contest or Youth Big-Buck Contest for the 2024-2025 Georgia deer season, there’s still an important step at the end of the season. To compete for weekly prizes and a spot in the grand-prize Shoot-Outs, an entrant’s rack (skull plate) must be officially scored during one of two GON scoring events. Any hunter with a buck entered in this season’s contest is invited to have the rack officially scored either in Tifton on March 8, 2025 or on March 15, 2025 in Madison at the Madison Community Center & Gymnasium at 1253 College Drive in Madison.

Please note this is a change of location for the Madison scoring event—we will not be measuring racks at the old GON office on Seven Islands Road.

On those dates in Tifton and Madison, racks can be dropped off from 9 a.m. until noon. No racks will be accepted after the noon deadline for any reason—please give yourself plenty of time in case of traffic or unforeseen events that might delay your travel to Tifton or Madison. All racks must be picked up the day of the event, likely between 1 to 2:30 p.m.

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. Plan on it taking most of the day, so please bring patience!

No mounted heads or racks with split skull plates can be scored. We will measure velvet racks and European skull mounts.

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.
