Halloween for 14 year old Kiersten Snowden was different this year. She and her dad, Bryan Snowden, left Blue Eye at 4:30 in the morning headed to a small farm near Fair Play, Missouri, in hopes of killing a deer. With no action that morning they went into town to grab a bite to eat and rethink their strategy. With some tips from the land owner, they made their way to a new part of the farm. While walking to their new location Kiersten’s dad spotted a deer. They froze in their tracks and Keirsten tried to take a shot, but could not get a clear view of the deer. To their surprise, the deer bedded down. After watching and anxiously awaiting for an hour and a half, the deer made its final mistake by standing and giving Kiersten a 60 yard, broad side shot. The deer scored 147 1/8 inches and had a perfect 10 point rack with an inside spread of 19 inches. Kiersten had finally completed her 6 year quest to harvest a deer. She never imagined it would be the monster buck many dream of!
Thank you to Mr. Kevin for giving us a spot to hunt and a memory that will last a lifetime!

Good for you Keirsten!!!! I have been deer hunting for 27 years and have not got one that big. It is good to see young people getting out there and hunting more.
