Junior Hunters:

Genevieve Drachman gets her first mule deer

Submitted by Boyd Drachman, father

The following junior hunter success story is one to make any seasoned hunter smile – what a buck.

Attached are photos of eleven-year-old Genevieve Drachman and her first big game animal, a desert mule deer buck from Unit 33. We found the deer this morning and after a 1/2 mile stalk, Genevieve made a brilliant single shot at 200 yards through the lungs and the heart. The deer traveled only 20 yards after the hit.

When Hunting Highlights asked Boyd for more details about the hunt, he said, “We were kinda hunting whitetail deer, but could not pass this beautiful buck.” Boyd continued to share, “Genevieve is on cloud nine!”

We are lucky to live in such a wonderful state with such great opportunities for junior hunters (dad’s and uncle’s too!).

Arizona’s junior hunts are absolutely what hunting is all about!”
