Eight-point buck

Five-year-old Stephen Vance shows off an eight-point buck that he earned on his first hunting trip (with a rifle) with grandfather Chris Mustin. Through his grandfather, Vance has been around hunting most of his life.

Back in November, at the height of the hunting season, local hunter Stephen Vance took aim at a buck, and pulled the trigger.

His first shot missed, but instead of running away, the buck remained still, almost as if he was unsure of what to do.
