It’s simple... it’s about the kids. This is why we’ve made the SEEDS Big-Buck Contest better than ever. We’re rolling the youth-only contest into GON’s Truck-Buck contest, the longest running, largest ever and most popular deer contest in the state. This year’s grand-prize SEEDS winner is going deer and hog hunting in Johnson County with Woods-N-Water. See below for more details on that exciting hunt.
Being a part of the 2009 SEEDS Big-Buck Contest is simple. Be 17 years of age or younger, and kill the best youth deer in a week. There’s 17 weeks of deer season, so we’ll have 17 weekly winners hoping to win a dream hunting trip with Woods-N-Water.
See below for more details on entering the 2009 SEEDS Big-Buck Contest.
Henry County Fund-raiser: The Henry County Committee will host its sixth annual fund-raiser at the Merle Manders Conference Center on Thursday, Sept. 10, 2009.
This fund-raising event will generate funds to be used on many worthwhile projects in the Henry County area. Money from previous banquets have been used to fund the following projects: kids’ duck-box building days, Archery in the Schools programs, kids’ fishing days, Cubihatcha Outdoor Education field trips, 4-H shooting teams and kids’ dove, deer, quail and duck hunts.
For pricing and contact information, see below.
Woods-N-Water Sponsors SEEDS Big-Buck Contest
Woods-N-Water, based out of Wrightsville, will pony up the grand prize in this year’s SEEDS Big-Buck Contest. President Blaine Burley has donated a three-day deer and hog hunt in November 2010 for the grand-prize winner in this year’s youth deer contest.
Woods-N-Water has more than 1,500 acres of private, trophy-managed property in Johnson County. The hunt will take place during the rut, giving our winning youngster the best chance at taking home a set of mounting antlers. In addition, Blaine has the hogs, and he’ll take all the help he can get cleaning a few out.
The trip will include meals and lodging for the winning youth and their parent. During hunts, a pond stocked full of fish outside the lodge will make sure there’s never a dull moment while our winning youth enjoys the adventure of a lifetime.
To book a hunting or fishing trip with Woods-N-Water, call Blaine at (888) MAX-GAME. Check him out online at <www.woodsnwaterinc.com>.

1. The SEEDS Big-Buck Contest is open to kids 17 years of age and younger.
2. Kids must be GON subscribers, or dependents of GON subscribers, before killing a buck.
3. Kill an antlered buck, and take plenty of photos. Don’t forget to smile!
4. The easiest way to enter the buck is by going to <www.gon.com>. However, you can also fill out the Truck-Buck application in GON and mail it in with photos. Just make sure GON receives the application within seven business days of when the buck was taken.
