Deer of the Day - Sweet 16 Buck, Ashlyn Spyker

While hunting with her father Rick in southwest Michigan, 16-year-old Ashlyn Spyker was able to drop this 146-inch, 11-point buck that was chasing a doe the third week in November. This is the third deer for Ashlyn.

"She was so nervous, I had to help her steady her arm holding the gun," shared Rick, "she shot and dropped him in his tracks!"

Congrats on a great hunt and buck Ashlyn!
