The Garden State Deer Classic [2] is an annual event showcasing hunter entries in New Jersey’s Outstanding White-tailed Deer Program [3], which was initiated by the Division of Fish and Wildlife in 1964.

On Sunday, January 15, 2012 at the 23rd Annual Garden State Deer Classic, a large crowd was on hand for the awards program which honors the top three entries in each category for deer harvested during the 2010-2011 hunting seasons.

The 2012 Deer Classic was sponsored by the Division of Fish and Wildlife (DFW), the New Jersey State Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs [4] (NJSFSC), United Bowhunters of New Jersey [5] (UBNJ), the New Jersey Outdoor Alliance Conservation Foundation [6] and the Garden State Outdoor Sportsmen's Show [7].
