The First Annual Heavyweight Harvest Challenge
Think your buck has what it takes to claim the title? This season, we aren't searching for the prettiest rack—we're looking for the heaviest buck harvested on Fort Stewart or Hunter Army Airfield. If you've harvested a true heavyweight, it's time to put it on the scale and see how it stacks up against the competition. Whether you're a first-time hunter or a seasoned veteran, this challenge is your opportunity to earn bragging rights and compete for the grand prize.

The Heavyweight Harvest Challenge is an installation-wide competition open to hunters participating in the official hunting season on Fort Stewart and Hunter Army Airfield.
Participants will submit eligible bucks harvested on the installation, and the hunter with the heaviest verified buck at the end of the season will be crowned the winner.
