Macon Coliseum in a Chevy Colorado from John Megel Chevrolet in
Dawsonville. Matthew Price II (bottom), 11, of Ellabell won the grand
prize, a deer-hunting trip to Texas where he'll be allowed to shoot a
trophy buck, hogs, turkey, a host of small game and go bass fishing.
5TH Annual GONetwork & SEEDS Big-Buck Contests
SEEDS CAN WIN 2 GRAND PRIZES! Hey kids, want to go on a deer hunt in Texas? Here's your chance!
Flies & Fletching, Arrowdynamic Solutions, country-music singer
Roland Whitt and Dan Mangus of Wilderness Outfitters in Challis,
Idaho are sponsoring the 2008 SEEDS Big-Buck Contest! These folks
have a genuine interest in promoting hunting and fishing, and they're
using SEEDS, the GONetwork's youth program, to do it.
The grand-prize winner in the 2008 SEEDS Big-Buck Contest is headed
to Glenrock, Wyoming for a one-week hunting trip of a lifetime.
"The hunt will be tag dependent, but we'll be applying for a host of
tags - elk, mule deer, whitetail, antelope and black bear," said
Chris Albrecht with Flies and Fletching. "Dates on the hunt will
depend on season and tags, but it'll likely take place in early to
mid September."
The trip is for one kid and their parent/guardian and will take place
on private ranches and possibly some public land.
"The area is known for monster bulls and mule-deer bucks mixed with
some good whitetails in the river bottoms," said Chris. "It's got
tons of antelope and some really good bears."
This all-expense paid trip includes licenses, air-fare, guides, meals
and lodging.
Southern Backwoods Adventures: Just when you think this trip couldn't
get any better, the guys with Southern Backwoods Adventures (SBA)
jump aboard. A cameraman with SBA will join the winning kid and film
the hunt for an episode of SBA. The hunt will air on Fox Sports Net
and the MAN channels.
