Vicksburg On The Hunt

Kristen Buchanan shot this 105 pound doe on November 15 at Magnolia Hunting Club. She made the shot at 25 yards with a 7mm-.08.

Collin Magoun, 8, was hunting with his Dad, Bo Magoun, in Claiborne County when he took down his first deer, a nice 10-pointer that scored a 126 with a 13-inch wide rack. He made the shot with a .223 from about 25 yards away.

Allie Willis, 10, is all smiles after bagging her first buck on November 15. She killed the 225-pound, 8-pointer on family land north of Mayersville. She made the shot with a .2143 Winchester from about 70 yards away. The buck's rack came in at 17 inches long and 16 inches wide. Allie is the daughter of Mitchell and Suzanne Willis of Vicksburg.

Timothy Wright, 10, killed this nine-point buck with a .243 rifle in South Warren County on Nov. 23. Wright was hunting with his father. It was his second buck of the year.

Seven-year-old Sean Daily's first buck was a beauty. He killed this 200-pound, 11-point monster in Copiah County on Nov. 22. The deer had a gross Boone and Crockett scored of over 140 inches. Daily was hunting with his uncle, Vince Barber, on family farm land when he made the 75-yard shot with a .243 rifle. Sean is the son of Vicksburg residents Dan and Miriam Daily, and the grandson of Victor and Gerry Barber, formerly of Vicksburg.

Alivia and Jason Odom shot this 120-pound doe at Delta Point Hunting Club. Alivia used a .30-caliber rifle to make the 70-yard shot. The deer ran another 50 years before they tracked it down.

Will be posting some great pictures of hunters and their harvest from Vicksburg each week. Here are three hunters taken from The Vicksburg Post. I will post the lady hunters tomorrow in the great outdoors. This is a sweetthing!
