PIC OF THE WEEK:
This week’s "Pic of the Week" are sisters McKinley and Leighton Wimmelman, whose photo was shared with us by their proud dad, Trapper. Trapper did such great job of writing their story that we’re sharing his words here: In a time where many kids spend more time on screens than outdoors, two young Vermont sisters are proving that the hunting tradition is still alive. McKinley, 11, and Leighton, 9, have grown up in a family where time in the woods means more than just filling a tag — it’s about patience, responsibility, and pride in providing food for the table. At just nine years old, Mckinley was sure she was old enough to hunt. Logging many hours through that first season. Despite several close calls, cold fingers and toes and lessons learned, she didn’t connect — but she never lost her goal. The following year, her persistence paid off with a six-pointer at first light on youth day. Later, during rifle season, she capped things off by tagging a unicorn buck on the second-to-last day. Watching all of this, and with some sibling rivalry, her younger sister Leighton set her own goal — to get a deer at a younger age than her sister. She spent the summer target practicing with her crossbow and rifle, checking trail cameras, and helping prep stands. When Vermont’s archery opener arrived, the effort came together perfectly. On that first evening sit, at just eight years old, she made a perfect shot on a nice eight-pointer. Both sisters are proud not only of their success in the woods, but of what it means. They understand where their food comes from, and around the dinner table, they’re quick to remind everyone whose deer is being served. Congratulations Dad and daughters for a wonderful story of the hunts! For sharing your story and photos we’ll be sending you a $10 gift card courtesy of Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel.
