PIC OF THE WEEK:
This week’s "Pic of the Week" was shared with us by Betsy Kelley of her nephew, Lucas Jones. It was Lucas’s last hunt as a youth hunter and Lucas wanted to make it special, so he chose to carry his grandfather’s Marlin 30-30. His grandfather, called Pop Pop, had passed away a few months earlier and Lucas was very close to him. Lucas’s dad, Nick, would be joining Lucas on the hunt. The first day didn’t go as hoped, and day two started off slowly, so the hunters decided to hike the mountain to Pop Pop’s favorite hunting spot. Their confidence wained as the day wore on. With only twenty minutes of shooting time left, Nick heard something moving nearby. A few minutes later, a deer emerged from a ravine just 25 yards away. Nick whispered, "It's a buck—get your gun ready." Without hesitation, Lucas took the shot and the buck ran off into the woods. As darkness settled in, they weren't sure how good the shot had been, so they called for some extra help. Lucas's cousin Brett and his Uncle Dexter arrived with brighter flashlights. Within minutes of picking up the blood trail, they found the buck laying about 100 yards away. The excitement grew when they realized Lucas had harvested a beautiful 8-point buck weighing 162 pounds. What made it even more special was that Lucas had taken the deer from his grandfather's favorite hunting spot and used his grandfather's rifle. In an incredible full circle moment, the last buck Pop Pop harvested from the same spot, with the same gun, was also an 8-pointer. Congratulations Lucas and Dad! This was truly a very special hunt as they felt Pop Pop was smiling down on them. For sharing your story and photos we’ll be sending you a $10 gift card courtesy of Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel.
