All entries into contest held in conjunction with Louisiana Sportsman Show will be eligible for random drawing.
Two Mississippi categories have been added to the 2013 Louisiana Sportsman Big Buck Contest set for March 15-17.
And every entrant will be eligible to win a brand-new Yamaha ATV.
The 2013 Louisiana Sportsman Big Buck Contest will be held at the Lamar-Dixon Expo Center, the site of the Louisiana Sportsman Show.
Scorers with Mississippi’s Magnolia Records will be on hand looking for big bucks to add to the record books.
There will be eight categories:
• Best Mississippi Gun
• Best Mississippi Bow
• Best Louisiana Gun
• Best Louisiana Bow
• Best Out-of-State Gun
• Best Out-of-State Bow
• Youth
• Muzzleloader/Crossbow
Since the contest occurs so soon after the deer season, many hunters might have to retrieve the horns from their taxidermists before the event, and that shouldn’t ever be a problem. Taxidermists don’t typically install the antlers until very late in the mounting process.
All deer will receive Boone & Crockett scores. Of course, only those past the mandatory 60-day drying period will receive final scores.
All bucks killed during the 2012-13 season are eligible for entry. Additionally, bucks killed during the 2011-12 season that have not been officially scored also are eligible. Any deer entered into last year’s contest that did not receive official scores can be brought to the show for official scoring, but are ineligible for any contest prizes.
In addition, bucks killed during prior seasons may be brought in for scoring and display, but they are not eligible for contest prizes.
All entries will be displayed on the Big Buck Contest wall until winners are announced on March 17.
