PIC OF THE WEEK:
TThis Week’s "Pic of the Week" is Sam and Ruth's granddaughter, Kerri Campbell. Kerri had an awesome fall hunting season taking both her very first black bear and a really nice archery buck. Sam and Ruth took Kerri over to what is affectionately called "The Field of Dreams" for a chance at a black bear. Kerri is first to admit that seeing a bear gets her heart pumping wildly and that she has missed opportunities in years past. This year, she was more determined than ever! Anticipation was high because the Field of Dreams never disappoints. Sure enough, at about 5:45, a bear came out across the meadow right in front of the stand! Sam whispered to Kerri to wait until it turned broadside and then watch the bullet hit the animal. Tension mounted as the bear closed the distance and then Kerri whispered, "I’m going to take the shot!" A perfect hit and the bear took off running towards them. Kerri’s first words in the blind were, “I didn’t miss this time!”. Ruth and Kerri’s boyfriend, Collin, were in another blind and watched the whole thing unfold. Everyone waited a short time and then took up the blood trail. Her bear did not go far and was down!
Kerri couldn’t wait for archery season. After a few sits with no buck action, a hunt finally came together. She was with her dad, Marc, when a doe and a spike buck walked into the food plot to feed. Soon Kerri noticed her target buck standing on the edge and she felt that he was looking right at them. He finally settled down and stepped into the field. Kerri was using her dad's REV X Excalibur crossbow. When moving it into place Kerri slightly bumped the rail. This caused the buck to look up again but soon he settled back down. When he stepped into range and was broadside at 32 yards, Kerri took the shot. After a good waiting period they found her beautiful buck within 50 yards of where he had stood. Congratulations Kerri on a great 2024 season! For sharing your story and photos we’ll be sending you a $10 gift card courtesy of Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel.
