Two-Buck Bounty
Two Hunters. Two Bucks. One Bounty.
A statewide whitetail competition built for Mississippi hunters.
Form your team, hit the woods, and put your best two bucks on the board. The combined score of your team's bucks determines where you finish when the season is over.
The Challenge
Mississippi deer season just got a little more competitive.
The Two-Buck Bounty brings hunters from across Mississippi together for a season-long whitetail competition.
Teams consist of two hunters. Each hunter has the opportunity to submit one eligible buck, and the two scores are combined to determine the team's final score.
Hunt where you normally hunt. Put your best two bucks on the board and see how your team stacks up against hunters from across Mississippi.
Two hunters. Two bucks. One combined score.
