Hunt Story
On a windy last day of the season at 9:45 a.m., Jacob (10) with his mother (Leigh) in the double stand with him dropped his first buck ever. Jacob had let 2 does walk an hour earlier just waiting patiently since we had seen several bucks from this stand the past couple of weeks. Jacob had to overcome a misfire (click) on his 1st attempt at the buck, but after his mother calmly walked him through how to quickly reset the bolt-action rifle, he was able to make a good shot. It didn't help the nerves of either of them that there was another buck behind the one he shot with another set of eyes just waiting to bust them. Needless to say Jacob will remember this morning for a long time.
