FAQ:
Q: Is the Wildlife Showcase and Scoring Event the same as Big Buck?
A: Yes it is, we’ve revamped the name to reflect the expanded categories from just white tail deer to also include elk, moose and bear entries as well.
Q: Isn’t the Big Buck event usually in the Manitoba Room?
A: This year we have moved the event to the UCT Pavilion that is on the north side of the Manitoba Room. Please enter via the curling rink doors.
Q: What are the times to drop off heads for scoring?
A: Heads can be dropped off in between 11AM to 1PM for pre-scoring, however, the doors to the event do not officially open until 1PM therefore you will have to return at 1PM for the event.
