Cola Blanca Big Buck Contest

11/17/2025

A good reminder from our friends and Contest Sponsors at IBC Bank. Holiday season is upon us... stay vigilant and aware with your credit cards!

🎄 Stay Alert This Holiday Season!

Scammers are busier than ever during the holidays. Did you know:

✅ 80% of U.S. consumers have been targeted by holiday-related fraud, including fake charities, delivery scams, and online shopping traps.

✅ In a 2024 analysis of e-commerce transactions, TransUnion found that the most popular day for attempted online fraud was Thanksgiving Day.

✅ Nearly half of shoppers (48%) report being targeted by an online shopping scam during the holidays.

IBC Bank is here to help you fight back. With the IBC Bank Card Controls app, you can:

🔒 Instantly lock your card if something feels off
📍 Set location limits to block suspicious charges
💸 Get real-time alerts for every transaction

Take control before scammers take advantage.
📲 Download the app and shop with confidence.

A good reminder, no longer HOW long you have been hunting. And as most of our Pops and Grand Pops would say "if you haven't missed, you haven't been hunting long enough!"
- Buck fever is REAL! Prepare, practice and always wait for a good, ethical kill shot.

| Y'all give it up for Miss and her County, Texas buck! Taken with her bow at 34 yards, Alexis is sure proud of this one after working hard on her bow skills all off-season! At 215 lbs, this old brute of a South Texas buck sure is a trophy for the young lady! - CONGRATS Alexis! We're proud of and for you!
