EMBARRASS— Kolton Orcutt proved that patience can pay off. Kolton, who turned ten just ahead of last month’s youth deer hunt, decided to take part in the hunt along with his step-dad Jordan Nelson.
He saw a few does while waiting in the stand, but insisted on holding out for a buck. By late Sunday afternoon, in the final few hours of the four-day hunt, it looked like he might have missed his chance. But then, just minutes before he and his dad were ready to leave, a deer— this time with antlers— walked into view. Kolton, who attends school in Virginia, didn’t waste any time, and the rest is history as he notched his first buck. Congratulations to Kolton for his success. Looks like it will make good eating for the family!
