Ollin Hazzard will be showcasing an incredible piece of Virginia hunting history at ANTLERSTOCK 2024! Not only will he be bringing his massive 2024 Amelia County hammer, but he will also be displaying a truly special buck with deep family roots—an old-timer found decades ago by his great uncle while quail hunting in Stoney Creek back in the 1960s.
The Amelia County hammer is a testament to the incredible whitetails that Virginia can produce. Taken in 2024, this buck represents the dedication, patience, and skill required to harvest a true giant. Hunters across the region are eager to see this remarkable deer up close, and ANTLERSTOCK provides the perfect opportunity to appreciate its size, mass, and character.
However, what makes this event even more special is the inclusion of the legendary old-timer buck. Discovered in the 1960s by Ollin’s great uncle during a quail hunt, this buck’s story is one that has been passed down through generations. Finding a shed or an old skull in the woods is always exciting, but discovering a mature buck from a time long past is something truly remarkable. It serves as a connection to the hunters who came before us, reminding us of the deep traditions that make deer hunting such an important part of our culture.
These two bucks, though decades apart, highlight the timeless nature of the pursuit. Whether taken with modern equipment or stumbled upon during a bird hunt in the mid-20th century, each deer has a story to tell. Bringing both to ANTLERSTOCK allows others to appreciate the legacy of Virginia whitetails and the hunters who dedicate their lives to the sport.
For those attending ANTLERSTOCK, this is a must-see display. Ollin’s Amelia County hammer represents the best of what today’s hunters strive for, while the old-timer buck serves as a tribute to the past. Together, they offer a unique perspective on how deer hunting has evolved over the years while still remaining deeply rooted in tradition.
A big thanks to Ollin Hazzard for sharing these amazing bucks with the hunting community. If you’re attending ANTLERSTOCK, be sure to stop by and see these incredible deer firsthand. Whether you’re there to admire the impressive antlers, hear the stories behind them, or simply share in the camaraderie of fellow hunters, this will be an experience to remember.
See you at ANTLERSTOCK, where history and hunting come together to celebrate the incredible legacy of Virginia whitetails!
