Seven-year-old Landon Hosey was hunting with his dad on private land in Botetourt County when he put the drop on this doe with an AR15 in 6.8 SPC caliber.
Nice deer, Landon! I hope it’s the first of many.

While growing up in rural Southern Oregon, Mark Taylor developed a passion for the outdoors while he and his younger brother tagged along with their father on fishing, hunting and camping adventures.
Graduating from Northwestern University in 1988, Taylor spent four years as an officer in the U.S. Navy based in Norfolk before moving into journalism.
After five years writing about the military for a Norfolk-based publishing company, he became the outdoors editor at The Roanoke Times in 1998. He lives in Roanoke with his wife and twin daughters.
Love to see kids/family carrying on the tradition, most importantly the time and memories they gain from being together in the woods! Congrats young man on a nice buck.
Landon, good job. Are you related to Jimmy?
Nicely done little man,nicely done.
Congratulations are always in order when a young’un gets in on the action. One comment, though, the gun is not the star. Lose it, and the picture is complete, the focus should be on the young hunter, not the gun.
Congratulations Landon!!! I’m in the process of building a 6.8spc for deer hunting myself. Nice rifle!!
Way to go! Congrats!
