2005 Deer Classic Winners
The
Deer Classic is an annual event
showcasing hunter entries in New Jerseys Outstanding
White-tailed Deer Program, which was initiated by the Division of Fish and
Wildlife in 1964.
On Sunday, January 16, 2005, a large crowd was on hand for the special awards
program held at the 16th Annual Garden State Deer Classic for the top three
2003-2004 entries in each category. The 2005 Deer Classic was sponsored by the
Division of Fish and Wildlife, the New
Jersey State Federation of Sportsmens Clubs, United
Bowhunters of New Jersey (UBNJ) and the Garden
State Outdoor Sportsmen's Show.
