Celebrate Adirondack hunting season with Brookside Hops & Hoagies' 3rd Annual Biggest Buck on the Block contest in Long Lake, NY!

Open to hunters of all ages, the competition runs throughout the 2026 Northern Zone regular deer season. Hunters compete for the heaviest legally harvested buck, with antler points determining the winner in the event of a tie. A separate Lucky Buck drawing offers another opportunity to win.

Last year's contest attracted 71 registered hunters and 18 bucks weighed in, with John Rags taking first place with a 187.8-pound, 10-point buck.

Registration Details:

• $20 registration fee, required before harvesting a buck.

• Hunters must present an unfilled regular-season buck tag in their name when registering.

• One buck per participant.

• All bucks must be legally tagged and weighed in at Brookside Hops & Hoagies.
