Still winning in the largest antler category is CoLee Johnson of Hovland with a deer with a 25-inch antler spread.

Hunters are competing for prizes for the largest dressed weight deer and the largest antler spread. The hunter with the largest dressed weight wins a new rifle.The money from the Big Buck Contest entry fees—$10 per hunter—goes into the pot for the prize for the largest antlers. The hunter with the widest antler spread gets half of the money. The other half goes to a hunter drawn from all the entries.

The contest began November 6 and continues until the end of deer rifle season on November 21.

Good luck, everyone!
