Vicksburg On The Hunt

Payton Edwards, 9, bagged this buck on Saturday at the Magnolia Hunting Club. He shot the 8-pointer, which had a rack 19 inches wide and 21 inches long, from 60 yards away.

Sara Ann Montgomery, right, was hunting on Desoto Island with her father, Jerry Montgomery, her stepbrother, Gage Laird, and his father, Chris Laird, when she killed her first deer on October 27, during the Louisiana youth weekend. Sara killed a 90-pound doe. Gage also killed a 90-pound doe that afternoon. Sara shot her deer with a 30-30 Winchester from 50 yards. Gage shot his deer with a .260 Remington from 50 yards away.

Jessica Lynch, 15, killed her first deer while hunting in South Warren County with her step-father Doyle Lee. She bagged the 115-pound doe with a 30.06 from about 70 yards.

All our hunters here harvested their deer back in the early part of the season. After the first weekend of deer season I decided to start posting pictures of our young hunters here in Vicksburg and named it, Vicksburg On The Hunt. With deer season closed now we may or may not have anymore to post. Turkey season is right around the corner and will start posting pictures of hunters young and old in our great outdoors here in the Red Carpet City of the South, Vicksburg. Congratulations to all our deer hunters! What a great deer season. Charming, Just Charming!
