Tethrd Ten

The Tethrd Ten is a celebration of the ten best saddle bucks taken during the past hunting season.

The “BEST” is pretty hard to define. What makes it the best for one hunter could be wildly different than another. While a hunter in the Midwest might value the P&Y score more than anything, a DIY public land hunter in the deep South might value the amount of sweat equity expended more than the size of the rack. The self-filmer might value the creativity that went into the imagery or the documentation of the story. Maybe it was a hunter’s first buck, or a Veteran battling his demons who found an escape into the whitetail woods. None of those judgments are wrong. There is no definition of the “best” for the Tethrd Ten.

The Tethrd Ten serialized commemorative coin is only presented to those voted as the best.
You can’t buy it. You can’t grow it. You can’t build it. You must earn it.

The Ten is voted on by saddle hunters and published at the beginning of each new hunting season.
