Nathan Lucas bags a beauty on youth day

Twelve-year-old Nathan Lucas of Christiansburg has been hunting for three years. Unlike some kids he didn’t get to enjoy beginners luck, getting blanked those first two seasons.

But he made up for that on Saturday, rewarded for his perseverance with this awesome buck.

Nathan was hunting in Montgomery County with his dad, Michael Lucas, who looks pretty happy with this buck himself. Nathan made his shot with a Remington .308 bolt action rifle.

    Nathan, that is one fine buck! I’m sure your dad has already told you, but this buck proves it – patience pays off, big time!

    Awesome, awesome buck. I know he and his dad are proud. I saw this on Harvey’s Meat Processing’s facebook Saturday evening. :)
