Antler, Horn and Tusk Competition 2024
The 2024 Antler Horn and Tusk & Photographic Competition for the Nelson Branch was held on the 29th May 2024. Huge thanks go to Warren Plum and Eric Hall for scoring all heads. Also to Greg Monahan of Whistling Frog Media for his judging of the Photographic entries and documenting the night. We also were lucky to have local business McCashin's Tap Room as a venue + sponsor plus of course MTN gear for sponsoring Trophy hooks and spot prizes for the fourth year in a row!
