Texas Trophy Hunters Association™ (TTHA) is proud to announce the second annual “TTHA’s Bucks and BBQ” State Championship BBQ Cook-Off and Food Drive to take place March 9-10, 2012 at the National Shooting Complex in San Antonio.  BBQ teams from all over the great state of Texas and beyond will compete for cash and prizes at this Texas State BBQ Championship event sanctioned by the International Barbeque Cookers Association (IBCA).

TTHA invites you and your team to compete in our “cooker friendly” event.  Our goal is to provide you, the BBQ team, with a great experience, a well-organized event and a fun time. 

At TTHA’s Bucks & BBQ Cook-Off, the Grand Champion will qualify for the American Royal in Kansas City and Lottery for Jack Daniels.  Additionally, each member of every team (up to 5 people per team) signed up in the cook-off will receive a 1-year membership to TTHA (a $174.75 value.)  Categories for competition include brisket, pork spare ribs, chicken, beans and the coveted wild game.  In addition to the food categories, there will also be a showmanship award given to the team with the “best set up” in their team space.  $5000 in cash plus additional prizes will be given away during the event with payouts for first through sixth places in brisket, pork spare ribs and chicken.

TTHA recognizes that while the BBQ teams compete for fun, glory and prizes, there are many people in the San Antonio area that go hungry every day.  Therefore, TTHA has teamed up with the San Antonio Food Bank to raise awareness and to add a much needed boost to the community pantry.  The mission of the San Antonio Food Bank is to fight hunger in Southwest Texas through food distribution, programs, education and advocacy. All teams and attendees at the TTHA Bucks and BBQ event are asked to bring canned goods, other non-perishable food items and/or monetary donations to the BBQ cook-off event.  Collection bins will be on site for donations.
