Great public land buck for Justin Ferguson
Fifteen-year-old Justin Ferguson shot this beautiful eight-pointer on national forest land in Pulaski County on Nov. 29, final day of the general firearms season. He was using a Marlin 30-30.
Justin was hunting with his brother, Jordan, and their cousin, Jeff Garwood, who sent in this shot. Garwood said he and Jordan were together on one ridge when they saw a doe about 8:50 a.m. Jordan couldn't get a shot but the deer was headed toward Justin. A few minutes later they heard Justin shoot.
Soon they got a text message from Justin saying he'd killed a buck. "We walked over to him and couldn't believe the size of the buck he had taken. It was 16 1/2-inch inside and had 21-inch main beams," according to Garwood.
Great buck! From a former Roanoker living in PA, I Miss the NRV and the great hunting! Enjoy the great meals! I'm sure he'll place in some big buck contests!
