East Carroll Parish Big Buck Banquet

2012 - 2013

          Our contest finale was once again held at the Lake Providence Community Center.  This was our 7th annual event which proved to be a huge success with over 350 folks in attendance.

          There were 110 plus deer scored this hunting season.  The 2012-2013 season produced high quality bucks for our area.  Our three largest this hunting season were as follows:

187 3/8 (Jim Buskirk)

179 4/8 (Bo Holt)

168 7/8 (Richie Robertson)

          Congratulations to these top winners and to all the hunters who participated in the contest.

          We would like to congratulate all of our children and youth who show great interest in the sport of hunting.  Several years ago, Joe and Evelyn Ross started our Little Britches Doe Division.  This has been a great success and allows the children of the community 12 years of age and under to be involved in the contest.

          As in years past, our sponsors make the 'East Carroll Parish Big Buck Contest' possible.  We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those sponsors for their generous contributions.  Please visit our sponsors page to see who your sponsors are.  When you see these folks, make sure to thank them for all they do.

           First, second and third place prizes were awarded to all categories as well as many door prizes being given to the crowd.  Our GRAND PRIZE this year was a Thompson Center Encore Rifle with a Zeiss Scope.  Our prizes are getting better and better each year thanks to our sponsors.

          There are many behind the scenes folks who work hard in preparing for this event.  We won't try to name them, but they know who they are and a big THANK YOU goes out to these folks.

          Each year our entertainment is provided by our local band "Close Enough."  They do a great job and we would like to thank them for their dedication and for sharing their talents with us.

          Hunting season is fast approaching and we are looking forward to the 8th annual East Carroll Parish Big Buck Contest.  Hope to see everyone in October.
