The scoring results for the 2016-17 GON Youth Big-Buck Contest are listed below. Congratulations to all of the youngsters who killed nice bucks last season. Links are provided so everyone can view multiples pictures and read the hunt stories from all of these successful young hunters.

The highest-scoring buck each weeks earns the youngster a Strike Force Elite HD trail camera from Browning Trail Camera. The weekly winners also earn a spot in the Youth Big-Buck Contest Shoot-Out, which will take place at GON’s Outdoor Blast on Friday evening, July 28.

The best shot in that pellet-rifle competition will win a grand prize $3,000 shopping spree at Adventure Outdoors in Smyrna. Plus, that grand-prize winner will get to spend a weekend deer and hog hunting, fishing and spending time with the great folks at Woods-N-Water outfitters next hunting season. Imagine walking into Adventure Outdoors and having $3,000 to spend on whatever you want. Then, plan on putting all of that great new gear to good use during a weekend with Woods-N-Water.
