2023 “SHOW US YOUR DEER” winner announced
Starting in 2021, The Sentinel changed the “Big Buck” contest and no longer required hunters to bring their deer to The Sentinel for a photo and measurements to be taken. As last year, all hunters were invited to submit photos of a deer they harvested and a random drawing would be done of all entries. This year, The Sentinel received 52 photo submissions for the deer contest.
