I had the privilege of mentoring Wayne, a new Missouri Department of Conservation biologist, on his first deer hunt. Hunters such as Wayne are a cause for encouragement for our future. He made a perfect quartering away shot on his first whitetail. We also enjoyed watching turkeys chasing deer and a wild Tom/Buck showdown (the Tom Turkey won). Wayne was a quick learner when it came to processing his deer, and is looking forward to a variety of great meals from his harvest.
