Mikayla's Buck

Mikayla Lewis brought a black tail buck into Cowgirl Cash this week. Mikayla is a 16 year old Bend teen with a father who knows how to hunt. Apparently so does Mikayla. They had been hunting hard for three days. Early mornings, cold rainy days in Western Oregon near Roseburg. On day three, they heard a hawk cry, and followed the commotion. Below them Mikayla and her dad spotted a young buck chasing around a few does. She sat down and steadied her gun or her knees. She shot the buck using a 7 mm 08 at 185 yards out with a single shot to the heart. They had a camera man with them, so Mikaylas first buck will be well documented and shared on Gary Lewis's Adventure Journal. Thanks for sharing your story with us!
