Dalton Simmons with his first buck
Nine-year-old Dalton Simmons shot this great seven-pointer on Nov. 7 while hunting with his dad, Lynn Simmons, on private land in Botetourt County. He got tracking help from his sister, Taylor.

Yeah buddy, nothing wrong with this buck!
Way to go my man and congradulations on a fine looking buck. Lucky for you, you have a sister that ain't afraid to help. My sister would freak at the first site of blood. Best of luck to you and your family rest of the season and be safe.

Great family outing, photo and hunt. Congrats on your first fine looking buck Dalton and you should do a few chores around the house for Taylor since she helped you track your buck.
