Daniel Peters is 8 years old and lives in Lincoln County, MS. He is the son of Don & Maria Peters and the Grandson of the Rev. Bendon Ginn, Pastor at Philadelphia Baptist Church in Caseyville.  Daniel killed his first deer, a large doe, while hunting with his mom and dad on private property just south of Highway 84 in Lincoln County, MS. Daniel wants to say thanks to the Hoffs for letting him hunt on their property.

Daniel's dad told The Bragging Post, "We were hunting from a ground blind on a food plot planted on a gas line that runs through the property. This was opening afternoon of the youth season.  November 15, 2008. We got in the blind around 4:00 PM. About 4:45 PM a group of 7 does and yearlings appeared and started feeding. We had set up a bench and shooting rest in the blind to assist Daniel with his shot. He was shooting his dad’s 25-06 with a 100 gr nosler ballistic tip.  These were hand loads he helped his dad assemble the week before. When the deer appeared we watched for a while and decided which doe he wanted to harvest. We determined which was the largest of the bunch and then Daniel adjusted his rest and made the shot. Although the shot was a bit far back the deer didn’t go very far. Daniel is extremely proud as this was his first deer. It was a wonderful afternoon with both mom and dad present to experience a memory that will last a lifetime."

CONGRATULATIONS DANIEL!!!
