Cassie White’s first ever deer is a doozy
Cassie White of Hartsville, SC killed a big Darlington County 11-point buck in late September. It’s the first deer she’s ever killed, and she used a heavy dose of patience to get it.
“Cassie hunted the full 2023 season, waiting on the right buck as her first deer,” said her husband, Landon White.
He encouraged her to shoot whatever she wanted throughout the season.
“I told her it was up to her on what her first deer would be. I suggested that a first buck could be whatever she wanted, and didn’t have to be big,” he said. “But she had other plans!”
She didn’t kill a deer at all that whole season.
But her plans payed off when the big 11-point buck showed up during this year’s evening hunt when the couple snuck into a spot they thought had the potential to hold a good buck.
“Sure enough,” he said, “this beautiful 11-point slowly cruised through the trees, not allowing for the right shot. Cassie stayed patient, and waited for him to stop and turn broadside.”
And when the buck finally did just that, she pulled the trigger on her Palmetto State Armory AR15 from 100 yards away.
“She made a good shot, and finally got her first deer,” he said. “The smile on her face when she walked up on him made my whole season worth it for me,” he said. “Now she spends her time telling me where to hunt and how to find big deer!”
