A fine first deer for 12-year-old Grace Amparan
Proud dad Kiki Amparan sent in this shot of his 12-year-old daughter Grace with her first deer. She shot the nice buck on private land in Bedford County.
Kiki Amparan said Grace, brother Keely and step-brother Kyle Hogan all have taken an interest in the outdoors. He added: "[It] makes the experience that much richer for me. It occurred to me recently, while out in the woods by myself, that something was missing. It wasn't the deer, squirrels and turkeys. It was the absences of my favorite hunting partners: my kids. I'm very proud that Grace has taken the interest that she has. I think she's hooked! She asked if we were going hunting this weekend and I told her it was going to be cold and windy. She replied 'that's what jackets are for.'"
Awsome job Grace!!! Wish my first deer was a buck! But I will take what I can get. Good to see an interest in hunting and hope you will stick with it....It's fun!!! Best of luck to ya and congradulations!

Congratulations, Grace. I can tell you would make a great Vice Presidential--no, make that Presidential--candidate in 2024! It's obvious to see one of the many reasons your dad is so proud of you.
