Deer of the Day is back!!!

Buck or doe. Shotgun or bow. We are welcoming everybody’s nominations for the WIKI 95.3 Deer of the Day, presented by The Rusty Buck, of course!

The tri-state’s BEST and ORIGINAL deer photo contest is giving our listeners the chance to show off their prized whitetail harvested during the 2025 hunting season. Each day, we’ll publish on this page a photo and story submitted by a listener.

The Deer of the Day grand prize winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to The Rusty Buck!

We are welcoming your nominations now through December 31, 2025! There are some simple rules to follow:

Email your medium to high resolution photo in JPEG or GIF file format to info@953wiki.com (953wiki.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 and ethically during the 2024 bow, firearms, muzzleloader, or youth hunting season in local areas of Indiana, Ohio, or Kentucky.
