When it comes to my lifelong passion for whitetail hunting, I’ve always been drawn to old stuff: old photos, old deer rifles and old stories from yesteryear.

Maybe we’re a bit spoiled here in Georgia after almost 30 years of the Truck-Buck contest. Where else can a deer hunter kill a buck, enter easily and quickly online, only have to beat other magazine subscribers who kill a buck the same week, and then have a chance to compete in a pellet rifle…
