Eddie Peterson had made the drive from Waveland to Mahanna Wildlife Management Area for a draw hunt, but hadn’t had much luck until they ran across another hunter who had killed a pretty nice deer.

Will Foreman has hunted with his dad since he was 5 years old, and a tradition developed for the youngster during those days afield.

One of those bucks that only comes along once in a lifetime as they say, happened by 8-year-old third grader Griffin Dulaney of South Jackson on Nov. 29 at 5:25 in the evening.
