In the Nikon Big Buck Photo Contest, user “Zukster” took the top prize for a photo of young Lucas Chaisson showing off a fine West Bay Wildlife Management Area buck killed during a recent youth hunt.

“He has never been hunting in his life,” Zukster wrote. “With 10 minutes left to hunt, this nice 8-point stepped out on the lane we were hunting. Lucas performed like a champ, dropping the deer in his tracks at 60 yards.”

Zukster earned 63 percent of the votes cast, and will receive a free one-year Louisiana Sportsman magazine subscription and a $25 gift coupon to the online Sportsman Store.

Users “Girlz Rule,” “delecerda” and “JB1979” tied for second with the remaining votes.
