Default Top Bucks of Past Four Huntingnet Contests

Here is a post I made last year that didn't quite get the attention I thought it would. One reason being is I don't think I posted it in the actual contest board. Hopefully now it can get some more recognition. When I get the time Ill put up last years tallies.


Last years post:

I got a little bored and decided to look through the Archives at the past bow hunting contests. Then I came up with the idea of posting the top 5 bucks from each year. These bucks are definetely something to be proud of so why not show them off one last time?

Ill start with the 2011-2012 season.

2011-2012 Season

There were a TON of trophy whitetails harvested the past 4 years that were dang close of making the top 5. Congratz to all hunters that harvested a buck/doe in these contests.

Great post, there have definitely been some giants taken during the contest! I wonder who can boast the biggest average scores, the bow or the gun contest??

I got the 2012-13 for ya Andrew. Wisconsin and Iowa seemed to dominate the boards this year. A lot of great bucks were killed even outside the top 5.

2012-13 Season

#1 jermrami9 161.75 S.W Wisconsin

A great buck, with a great spread. Congrats on taking the number one spot in 2012.

#2 Pope94/IA 160.125 Iowa

I know Andrew and this buck is awesome. He is still bummed out over not getting the kill on camera but his reaction after the kill is priceless. Also has some character with those small points. Keep the camera on this year

#3 peakrut 157.75 Wisconsin

I love the palmation on this buck. Makes it so unique I remember this buck from the first time I saw it. A great deer for the 3rd spot. good job.

#4 3STONE 150.75 Wisconsin

A very typical buck. I love the mass all the way through the times. Congrats on an fantastic buck.

#5 camokenny 146.125 Iowa


All I can say is character. Definitely a buck that can never be replaced. Congrats on the unique kill

Love the thread. Pretty neat to see a guy that is now on a pretty good hunting show (HB) was once in this contest.
