Garden State Deer Classic

12/16/2005

The Garden State Deer Classic is presented each year to feature the outstanding white-tailed deer harvested during the previous year's hunting seasons and recognize the hunters who took them.
 

In recent years it has been held at the Garden State Outdoor Sportsmen's Show at the New Jersey Convention & Expo Center in Edison. The 2006 show and Deer Classic will be held January 12 - 15, and is ideal both for sportsmen and women and for exhibitors, drawing 40,000 sporting enthusiasts.

A highlight of the Classic each year is a stunning display featuring some of New Jersey's largest bucks. The event culminates in an awards ceremony on Sunday.

As part of the Deer Classic, division biologists are present the entire time to answer questions and to measure and score deer heads. Hunting equipment manufacturers' pro-staffers and division biologists will also conduct seminars on various topics.
