Twelve-year-old Natheer lakay's smile says it all as he shows off the 3x3 mule deer buck he bagged Saturday, Oct. 31, while hunting with his dad, David Walker, on Sheldon Mountain. Natheer, born on July 4, 2014, described his hunt. "This is where it all started. Me and my dad woke up at 6 a.m. on  Halloween day, Oct. 31. We drove to Sheldon Mountain trailhead, hiked up the mountain for about three hours, my dad was in front of me, then he saw a muley buck. He told me to shoot it if I wanted to get it. This was my moment so I aimed at the buck and fired the gun and the buck fell on the ground. It took us 4 to 5 hours to carry the buck down to the pickup truck, I was so tired and very excited at the same time, it was a very wonderful experience for me."
