East Carroll Parish Big Buck Banquet

2014 - 2015


 

          Our 9th annual contest finale event was once again held at the Lake Providence Community Center, drawing a huge crowd eager to celebrate followship and the sport of hunting.

 

          The 2014-2015 season produced high quality bucks for our area and brought in nearly 140 deer entries this season.  Our three largest this hunting season were as follows:

8 Point - 161 3/8 (Madden Fortenberry)

11 Point - 158 (Wyatt Thompson)

10 Point - 157 1/8 (Big CJ Hutchinson)

 

          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 will be here before you know it and we are looking forward to our 10th annual East Carroll Parish Big Buck Contest.  Hope to see everyone in October.
