Scott Kennedy killed this big buck opening day of 2008 Youth week.  Warren Kennedy submitted the picture and told us the following story.

"A friend told us about a large buck he had seen right at dark while he was bowhunting.  This buck entered the large field a long way off and ran all the other deer out of the field.  On the first afternoon of the youth hunt, 11/15/08, we set up in a ground shooting house near where the buck had entered the field.  Scott had decided to wait until late on this buck.  He might shoot a doe if we were down to the last couple of minutes.  Patience paid off, as this buck was a couple of minutes behind a doe and yearling.  At 5:15 PM, Scott said, "There he is!".  He repositioned his window shooting bag to get his rifle on the buck.  The buck dropped instantly at 110 yards as the Ruger .308 Compact came through once again.  This buck weighed 230 lbs, has 19 1/2 inch main beams and a 16 inch spread.  He is a five point with no brow tines. The hunt took place in western Hinds County.  By the way, Scott is ten this year."

CONGRATULATIONS, SCOTT!!
