8 Year old Gage Beard of Summit, MS harvested
this doe with his compound bow the evening of January 9th in Copiah
County. This is Gages first archery deer. Proud Dad Craig tells the
story: "We were on a friends place in Copiah county. The blind we
hunted had high windows designed for an adult Hunter to be able to
stand and shoot a bow out of so we took a 5 gallon bucket with us.
Gage was actually standing on a bucket when he arrowed the deer at
13-14 yds!!! The shot was slightly high but caught the tops of both
lungs and the deer only went about 30 yds. It was the proudest day of
my hunting career. The Good Lord definitely had His hand in this one
and we were sure to thank Him for the opportunity."
