[sam_ad id="470" codes="true"] It's back for another season of bucks and does! The Eagle 99.3 Deer of the Day presented by Aurora Farm & Garden is giving our listeners the chance to show off their prized whitetail deer harvested during the 2014 hunting season. We are welcoming your nominations now through December 31, 2014! There are some simple rules to follow:

∙ Email your medium to high resolution photo in JPEG or GIF file format to deer@eaglecountryonline.com. Please include your name, city of residence, and location of the harvest along with a one paragraph story detailing your successful hunt.

∙ Keep your photo and story tasteful. Photos showing too much blood and/or guts won't be considered (yuck!).

∙ The deer shown must have been hunted legally during the 2014 bow, firearms, muzzleloader, or youth hunting season in local areas of Indiana, Ohio, or Kentucky.

Check back on this page often for a new Eagle 99.3 Deer of the Day photo and story posted below each weekday through December 31, 2014 excluding holidays.
