Along with the grand prizes, all entrants who harvest a deer with any legal gun, bow, muzzleloader or crossbow will be entered into a drawing to win a game camera or a $25 Cabela’s gift card. All entries are eligible for the grand prizes.
The contest is open to all residents of GreenStone’s territory in northeast Wisconsin and Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. To qualify, entrants must bring their deer or completed entry form with witness signature and photo to GreenStone’s Clintonville, Coleman, Little Chute, Manitowoc or Sturgeon Bay branch during normal office hours.
