PIC OF THE WEEK:
This week’s "Pic of the Week" is Ashley Cyr with a great, 8 point 190 pound Vermont buck. At the coaxing of her boyfriend, Hunter, Ashley started hunting about 5 years ago. Ashley’s dad had given her his first ever deer rifle, a Marlin 30-30 gold trigger. Ashley promised herself she would take her first buck with it. Little did she know her first buck would be such trophy! Disappointed she didn’t have much time to hunt, Ashley decided to take the last 4 days of rifle season off. Ashley was thrilled when Thanksgiving brought fresh tracking snow. She and Hunter went out, but the only fresh buck tracks they found lead to posted property. The next day Hunter had to work so Ashley was off on her own. She was feeling a little down but then spotted some fresh tracks in the snow! She knew immediately that one set was those of a big deer so she took up the trail. After about 20 minutes the tracks lead to a ledge that overlooked a nice valley. When she peered over, she saw two deer bedded down. One was a doe. Then, she caught a glimpse of antler, so she knew the other was a buck and was expecting maybe a 4 point. The buck turned his head and she saw it was a huge 8! Her heart went into overdrive and her entire body began shaking. Ashley texted Hunter and he answered, “Go get him!” She laid down her back pack and carefully slid down the snow into position where she could shoot. Quieted by the fresh heavy snow the buck didn’t panic but did stand up and begin to walk. He then stopped broadside, slightly quartering away. Ashley put the crosshairs on the vitals, took a deep breath, and squeezed the trigger. Ashley watched him hit the ground and immediately called Hunter! In Ashley’s words, "I am still in disbelief that I was lucky enough to have had the opportunity of taking this big boy down, by myself, with my dad's first gun. It was a hunt I will never forget and one I'm honestly not sure I could ever top.” Thanks Hunter for introducing Ashley to hunting, and congratulations to you both!
