The Wild Life, with Mark Taylor

Gary Justus scores again, this time with a whitetail

All that squirrel hunting practice paid of for 5-year-old Gary Justus on Saturday evening during a Highland County hunt with his mentor, grandma Donna Justus.

They were in a shooting house overlooking a food plot when four deer came into the field. This was the biggest doe. Gary sat in Donna's lap as he took aim. Donna said he was nervous but she helped try to keep him calm as he aimed at the doe, which was about 50 yards away.

Gary did his part and the shot was perfect.

  1. Way to go Gary! Your good shooting resulted in a big, beautiful doe. Keep up the great shooting and good luck with the rest of your season. Pretty soon we will all be taking pointers from you.
