Connor Stewart, 13, of Champaign, Illinois, was hunting in Green County with his grandfather Bob Hurt during the first firearms season on Nov. 18, 2007, when this brute showed up following a doe.
Using a Mossberg 500 12 gauge, Connor fired twice and missed due to excitement. As my grandfather would say, “I was shaking like a cat pooping cherry seeds,” Connor said. On the third shot, however, Connor finally connected and the big 10-pointer was his!
