"On the last day of hunting season and the last 30 minutes of shooting light, Timber, age 10, had the opportunity to harvest this beautiful buck with his parents. We are so beyond proud of him!" — submitted by Janell McCullough.
"Riley is 13 years old from Castle Rock. He took off for a hunting trip in Idaho in October and came back empty handed. He said he was going to get a big one when he went back in November to try his hand again. He notched his tag with this beauty. Couldn’t be more proud of him." — submitted by Niki Wood, Riley's mother
"Married life is off to an adventurous start! I'm so proud of my husband. He’s put so much time, patience and effort into hunting this season, all while getting married in the middle of the season. All of his hard work finally paid off. He brought home a beautiful deer — something that means a lot to him and to us. I love seeing him so dedicated to what he does, and I’m grateful for the food, the memories and all the teaching moments we've made this season together." — submitted by Chelsea Hoffman
"I bought my son-in-law a two-day Weyerhaeuser pass and his license and tag for his birthday. We were fortunate enough to bag this beautiful 4-point. He made a great shot and did all the work himself. I'm very proud of him." — submitted by Matthew Justice
"This is my oldest boy Liam (age 13). He went out with a family friend on Sunday and got the job done! Proud of him and every other hunter for getting out there in this yucky weather to put meat on the table! Little but legal!" — submitted by Clarissa Keele
"Bennett Drevniak, 9, got his very first buck on the last day of the season! He put in long hours out in the woods with his family and it paid off with an unforgettable moment and a huge smile. Way to go, Bennett!" — submitted by Tarin Drevniak
"After putting in miles of hiking, on a quick evening hunt during regular modern firearm season my son filled his tag for the second consecutive year. He dropped this buck in its tracks with a beautiful 85-yard uphill shot. Then he field dressed it by himself and helped process the meat to fill the freezer." — submitted by Lincoln Hollis
"My 9-year-old nephew harvested his first buck the last day of late modern season! One shot at 120 yards! We saw three smaller bucks before we seen this one. None one of them would stay still long enough to get him on them. I kept telling my nephew, 'God has a plan. Something better will present itself. If it’s meant to be, it will be.'" — submitted by Isabella Colvin
"On the last day of hunting season and the last 30 minutes of shooting light, Timber, age 10, had the opportunity to harvest this beautiful buck with his parents. We are so beyond proud of him!" — submitted by Janell McCullough.
