Cason Williams, a six-year-old from Bay Minette, has made the big time.
The boy won the Alabama Black Belt Adventures Association (ALBBAA) Big Buck photo contest after receiving the most online votes.
His father, Bubba Williams, entered a photo of Cason with the eight-point buck he took while on a hunting trip to Dallas County.
“We knew there was a big six-point in the area,” Bubba Williams said. “We were waiting on him to step out, but then this big eight-point showed up.”
The Pine Grove Elementary School first-grader won a $100 gift card, a copy of Black Belt Bounty, a hat from Buckmasters, a buck knife and a one-year subscription to Buckmasters Magazine.
Addison Bridges, 18, won second place, and Braxton Lee, 8, won third place, out of 125 entries.
“Our photo contests are designed to highlight the amazing hunting opportunities that so many people enjoy right here in the Black Belt,” ALBBAA director Pam Swanner said. “It’s always gratifying to see photos that commemorate family memories, and it’s extra special knowing this year’s winner came from a father-son hunt.
“We want to thank everyone who participated and submitted entries into the contest and everybody who cast an online vote,” Swanner continued. “The Black Belt offers the very best hunting, fishing and other outdoor recreation activities, and we want our photo contests to celebrate that tradition.”
