A reclusive ghost buck. A trail camera mounted in a riverbottom funnel. When the two come together in late August, the result is our 10th and final HIT LIST weekly winner.
Maybe it’s fitting that the 10th and final weekly winner in our 2018 Big Buck HIT LIST contest submitted a photo of a reclusive giant that he’s never seen in daylight. Pre-season scouting with trail cameras is all about lighting the fire of possibility for upcoming hunting seasons, and nothing does that like a great and mysterious “ghost” buck. For showing all of us some cool pics of a reclusive Indiana stud captured on Aug. 30, Kevin Crawford is our final HIT LIST weekly winner that makes him eligible for a sweet new hunting optic from Burris. Stay tuned for more on our HIT LIST grand prize winner who will be named this weekend following our weekly winner drawing.

Now let’s get back to the details of our Week 10 HIT LIST winner Kevin Crawford:
“I have had this Indiana buck on camera in velvet the last two years,” Crawford wrote. “I have never seen him out of velvet, or live in daylight; only on camera. This buck travels the river bottoms; there are lots of ag fields close by. I plan on hunting him with my Excalibur crossbow; our archery season opens October 1st.”
Crawford will be among the nine other weekly HIT LIST winners who will be placed in a drawing to receive a Burris Droptine 10×42 Binocular (MSRP $299; see image above). Burris, which has recently introduced the exciting new-for-2018 Oracle rangefinding bowsight that all bowhunters need to see, built the Team HuntStand -approved Droptine binocular line to deliver hunter-friendly ruggedness. You’ll also find this fine bino comfortable and lightweight enough for extended glassing, with an easy-grip exterior that makes for a rock-solid hold, even in the wettest conditions, and even with gloves.
All of us here at Team HuntStand would like to thank all who submitted entries for our 2018 HIT LIST contest; good luck this season and don’t forget to enter our Big Buck ALERT contest when you score!
