First deer was a 9-point buck
Kolbie Hayes Scott of Paxville, SC killed a 9-point buck in Clarendon County, SC on Sept. 4, 2026.
She shot the buck with a Winchester .243 during an evening hunt while sitting on the ground from 120 yards away.
Scott’s mom summed up the hunt with these words:
“Kolbie Hayes set out on her first hunt(wanting to finally shoot) with her daddy at just 5-years-old. They got to their destination and settled, but it wasn’t long before Kolbie Hayes decided she was bored and started to jump around and make lots of noise. At sun down, the buck walked into the field along with several others.
Daddy helped her get ready and left it all up to her telling her, ‘get it on him and when you’re ready, shoot.’ It took her no time to decide she was ready and pulled the trigger. She has now bagged her first deer, a nice 9-point buck. We found the buck just 10 yards from where she shot, and she put a perfect shot on him. She was so excited and we were too!”
Scott is now entered in our Bag-A-Buck Contest, and is eligible to win our monthly prize pack, which includes a set of Ultimate Eyes & Ears Combo from ShellShock Pro, a YETI Rambler bottle, a prize package from Buck Commander and Duck Commander, and a Carolina Sportsman hat, as well as our Grand Prize, a 2-day hunt for two to Cherokee Run Hunting Lodge in Chesterfield County, SC.
