Got a killer image from your trail camera taken during 2025? Submit it here for a chance at a fabulous prize, and perhaps see it published in Whitetails Unlimited Magazine or on our website.
There are three categories:
1. Best Buck
2. Best Antlerless Deer
3. Best Non-Deer
There will be 9 Moultrie Edge Pro 3 Cameras awarded (camera given may be upgraded to a newer model). 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place in each category.
Best Buck isn't necessarily the buck with the biggest rack - although that could be a plus - but rather the most interesting photo of a buck (white-tailed deer with visible antlers).
Best Antlerless Deer could be incredible photo of does, fawns, bucks who have shed their antlers, and groups of deer. Have something like that? Send it in!
Best Non-Deer is a catch-all category for great trail camera photos that don't include deer.
Winners will be published in a future issue of Whitetails Unlimited Magazine and placed on the WTU website, in addition to prizes that will be shipped to them.
Contest deadline is 11:59 p.m. central time on January 15, 2026. Judging will be in January of 2026, so you have plenty of time to get fresh batteries in those cameras and get them going.
You must submit the ORIGINAL digital still-image from your trail camera (sorry, no screenshots from mobile device, pictures of photo on the computer monitor, video clips, or prints). All photos must have a correct date stamp from the trail camera on it. Be sure to read ALL the Contest Rules below. Only one entry per email will be entered into the drawing.
**You must denote in the photo caption box which category (Best Buck, Best Anterless Deer, or Best Non-Deer) the uploaded photo is being submitted for. Failure to do so will result in an invalid entry.**
