Members that had entered the 2020 deer season contest brought their antlers to the meeting to be measured to determine contest winners.  In archery season, Colby Chandler took first place honors with Billy Latham finishing in second place.  Kane Miller won first place in the primitive firearms contest with an impressive buck scoring 160+ Boone & Crockett points. Ellis Silvey came in second in the primitive firearms contest.  For the rifle season contest, Colby Chandler finished in first place with Judd Thomas taking second place honors.  This was one of the better years for our members as several nice racks were brought to the meeting.
