Third Buck For Ohio Youth, Dakota Morris

North American Whitetail Online Staff - May 04, 2012

You might think Dakota Morris is a rookie to whitetail hunting, but this nine-year-old Ohio native already has punched two buck tags in his short career and added a third this past season when this terrific 13-point Buckeye brute stepped out.

"I've never been more excited over a deer as I was holding his shooting sticks and praying he made a good shot," shared father Craig.

Dakota sent two shots into the vitals and dropped the buck from 95 yards. The deer scored 182 inches and had two kickers off his G2s, adding to the uniqueness of the rack.

Congrats on a great buck Dakota!
