The Pelican Branch Library is conducting a Big Buck contest.  Entries are by submitting a picture

One of those submitted was from David “Alexander” Griffith, age 13.  Alexander killed his first good buck, a nice 10 point, during the Youth Hunt Weekend about 5-10 minutes after getting settled in the stand. He was hunting with his dad and shot his trophy buck from about 175 yards away.  Alexander is the son of David and Alison Griffith and is in 8th grade at North DeSoto.

The Pelican Branch Library’s annual Big Buck Contest continues until January 31, 2023. No pre-registration is required and there is no fee to enter. If you would like to enter your trophy buck, simply bring a photo with your name and phone number by the Pelican Library, 145 Jackson Street in Pelican during business hours Monday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesday through Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.  Entries may be submitted by emailing a photo to knewsom@state.lib.la.us, post it to the library’s social media page, or text a photo to Kriston at 318-461-3711.
