Weeks ago, 16 of these legends were tabbed in four divisions in the inaugural Deer & Deer Hunting Whitetail Madness bracket challenge. Voters picked their favorites to see who would advance through the fun, free contest.

The winner? Here’s a hint: he’s decked out in Mossy Oak camo.

Toxey Haas prevailed in the end, winning over Nugent in the championship round. It was a spirited contest from the start, with 33,511 votes cast by DDH fans since it kicked off March 10. The contest was hosted by Brackify.com and was one of the most popular on the site, eclipsing many including the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover Battle bracket by more than 7,000 votes.

From there, hunters saw Greenleaf, original Treestand, Full Foliage and Fall Foliage and then the Shadow Series along with an explosion of licensing the patterns on everything from household furniture to coffee mugs and hunting camp accessories.
