Robert Pace (top) of Stockbridge was the grand-prize winner in the GONetwork Big Buck Contest. Robert drove away from the 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.

5 Easy Steps To Wyoming

  • Become a SEEDS member. It's only $10 and will cover you for the entire 2008 SEEDS Big-Buck contest. Call (800) 438-4663 or go to www.georgiaoutdoornetwork.org.
  • SEEDS members or their legal guardian must have a paid subscription to GON. To get a $19.95 subscription, go to or call (800) 438-4663. Because you must be a GON subscriber, entries will be included in GON's Truck-Buck Contest.
  • Kill an antlered buck, and enter it in the SEEDS Big-Buck Contest. The entry form is on page 93 of this issue. You may also enter the deer online.
  • Bring your deer antlers to a scoring event later on this winter (location and date TBA).
  • The highest-scoring SEEDS deer from each district will enter the drawing for the Wyoming dream hunting trip. You'll compete in the district you live in. The drawing will be held at the 2009 Outdoor Blast.

GONetwork members who subscribe to GON magazine are eligible to enter the same deer in
both the GONetwork Big Buck and the GON Truck-Buck contests.

Shoot 1 Big Buck and you could win 2 New Trucks!

• Be a paid GONetwork member before you kill the buck. If your spouse is a member of GONetwork, you're covered under that membership and will be eligible to enter a deer. A one-year membership is $17.50 and is available at www.georgiaoutdoornetwork.org or by calling (800) 438-4663.
• Also, you must be a paid subscriber to GON magazine before you kill the buck. Again, if your spouse has a subscription to GON, you're covered under that. To get a $19.95 subscription, go to www.gon.com or call (800) 438-4663. Because you must be a GON subscriber, entries will be included in GON's Truck-Buck Contest.
• Take an antlered buck in Georgia and take good photos. You must provide at least three photos of yourself with the buck.
• Enter your buck using the application on page 93 of the September issue of GON or enter it online at www.georgiaoutdoornetwork.org.
• Entries must be received within seven business days of the time of harvest. For example, a deer shot on Saturday, Sept. 13 can't be entered unless GONetwork receives the entry form with photos no later than the close of business Tuesday, Sept. 23.
• After deer season you'll need to attend a special scoring event; location and date will be announced later. Contestants with the best- scoring bucks from each district will be entered in the drawing, which will take place at GON's Outdoor Blast in Macon in August 2009.
