MORE FROM HuntStand

Many of us don’t have to be told that capturing an outsized whitetailed buck on camera over the summer months is no easy task. But this summer the stars have aligned for Virginia’s Kerry Hershey. For sending in photos of not one, but a couple outsized VA bucks hanging out on his recently purchased hunting parcel, Hershey is the Week Six winner of our 2022 Big Buck HIT LIST contest.

The weekly win scores Hershey a Wildlife Research Center scent prize package valued at $44.99. It also makes him eligible for our drawing to win a Grand Prize Package valued at more than $630. The Grand Prize includes a wide variety of Wildlife Research Center products and two proven hunting optics from Burris.

Week 2 Buck Close

“I bought 42 acres three years ago basically for hunting turkeys and deer,” Hershey wrote. “This land is surrounded by about 600 acres of low-pressure hunting. We have been seeing several good deer on trail cams, but this year we have a couple special bucks.

Week 6 buck Head On“We’ll be hunting during bow, muzzleloader, and rifle season here in Virginia,” Hershey continued. “The photos were taken from two of our favorite stands. One is in the only food plot on our property, and the other is on a beech knoll.
Week 6 Buck At Night“It’s been fun watching the growth spurts of these bucks as the summer progresses. I have two other nice bucks at another camera, but the time stamp has an error on it and it reverted back to the factory settings, making the photos unusable. Thanks for letting me share my target bucks.”
