Angela Arrington's first antlered buck: Botetourt six-pointer
Those of you who attend outdoors conservation fundraisers and events in Central and Western Virginia probably recognize this woman. It's Angela Arrington. She's got a beautiful singing voice and often sings the national anthem at such events, which she attends with her husband, Gary Arrington, who is the special projects coordinator for Hunters for the Hungry.
Angela has been hunting a few years with a bow (and had some close calls) before she started gun hunting this year. During early muzzleloader season she killed her first deer, a button buck, then topped that during rifle season when she killed this six-pointer.
I actually saw this deer get shot. I was hunting about 400 yards away in the same big field with my brother-in-law when we spotted this guy follow a few does into the field. Angela made a perfect shot and he dropped like a stone. She was smiling like this two hours later.
Nice Buck, congrats

Congratulations Angela on a fine buck! The first one is always special. I also want to thank you for your role with Hunters for the Hungry. Gary has received a lot of well deserved thanks and appreciation in his posting and I know (as do all HONEST married men) that our successes are due in great part to the support we get from our wives. Thank you for your work and dedication to this organization.
