Russell Nitchman - New York



David and his sister Sarah went hunting on the Friday afternoon following Thanksgiving in a box stand overlooking a small food plot. A mature doe came out and Sarah made an excellent shot about a half hour before dark. It was her 4th deer. Then right at dark, a nice buck with easy to see antlers stepped out at 132 yards at the other end of the Imperial Whitetail Clover food plot. David carefully aimed the 20 gauge Mossberg slug gun with rifled barrel and pulled the trigger. At the shot, the buck bolted across the field to some thick cover. He was obviously hit in the front shoulder. 20 minutes later we recovered the 3-1/2 year old six-pointer which lacked brow tines. David was so excited and even enjoyed gutting his own deer. It was his first deer and I believe that he is hooked on hunting.
