2005 Deer Classic Winners

The Deer Classic is an annual event showcasing hunter entries in New Jersey’s 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 Sportsmen’s Clubs, United Bowhunters of New Jersey (UBNJ) and the Garden State Outdoor Sportsmen's Show.
