WHITETAIL CLASSIC' BEGINS MONDAY
Enter your buck or coyote and win prizes!

Hunters who bag bucks in the upcoming deer season are invited to enter them into the Big Woods Whitetail Classic buck contest that will be held at the Beef & Ale House at the corners of routes 872 and 6 just outside of Coudersport.

Top scoring bucks in a weight and antler division will win prizes. Cosponsor Sweden Feedin' Club will also hold a contest for the smallest buck entered each of the first three days and the largest coyote entered through the full first three days of the contest.

Sponsored by Endeavor News, Perry Sports Store in Austin and the Sweden Feedin' Club, the event will feature several prize give-aways.

Perry's Sports Store has donated a Savage 300 magnum rifle that will be awarded to the hunter who wins the antler division. Antler score will be tabulated by adding the number of antler points to size of the antler's outside spread at its widest point (in inches).

The winner of the weight division will receive a full Gore-Tex hunting outfit, including boots. Winner will be able to select his or her outerwear directly through Gore-Tex after the hunt and have it customized.

Second place winner in the antler division will receive a $100 off coupon for a head mount at Gary Clark Taxidermy in Cameron County. Second place winner in the weight division will be awarded a $100 gift certificate to South Park Supply in Emporium. The gift certificate can be used in the business' sporting goods department or in its hardware store.

During the first three days of the hunt, Sweden Feedin' Club will give cash prizes for the smallest buck entered each day. The group will also give a cash prize for the biggest coyote of the three days.

To enter the contest, hunters must harvest their deer in either Potter or Cameron counties. To be eligible for prizes, successful hunters must register their buck and sign the Big Woods Whitetail Classic Roster Board.

All hunters who enter the from the contest will receive their

official Big Woods Whitetail Classic registration photo free. They will also have the opportunity to have more prints made on site. Additionally, the hunter will receive a chance on a camouflage hunting chair.

Hunters who use one or all of the three coupons on their registration form will be entered into daily drawings for gift items from our sponsors the first three days of the hunt. Among the items that will be given away are: $25 gift certificates, a hand-made turkey call and other similar prizes.

The coupons are for specials to the restaurant, Sweden Feedin' Club hats and for discounted subscription options to this newspaper.

In addition to those drawings, the Sweden Feedin' Club will raffle a Savage .204 (with scope), an inline .50 caliber, a pair of 10x50 field binoculars, a $100 gift certificate to WalMart and $100 Coudersport Chamber of Commerce gift certificates. Drawings for each will be held Dec. 9 at 1 pm at the Beef & Ale House.

Organizers set out to create an event that would be interesting and fun not only for successful buck hunters, but also for sports and outdoors people who are interested in keeping track of the bucks that are being taken.

The Beef & Ale House has provided its entire downstairs to house the extra-curricular activities at the event.

Hunting videos will be shown on a 52-inch flat panel television inside through the first three days of the season. A roster board containing each registered hunter's name, address, size of the buck taken and other hunt information will be located inside for people interested in following the local harvest. A full color photograph will accompany each successful hunter's registration information on the board.
