Thirteen-year-old Megan “Sunshine” Thornton shot her first deer in Woodland on Oct. 27. The deer was a five-point buck and weighed 140 pounds. This has been a year of firsts for Sunshine as she was the first hunter to tag a moose at the New Sweden station in September during the first week of moose hunting season.		 Contributed Photo
Currently, 12-year-old Meagan Dube has taken a deer every time she’s gone hunting for one. The Caribou teen shot a 150-pound seven-point buck her very first hunt during the Oct. 20 Youth Deer Hunting Day. Meagan took the deer around 12:30 p.m. in the pouring rain out in the Big Woods, accompanied by her father, Ed Dube.		 Contributed Photo
Meagan’s 16-year-old sister, Ashley, also shot a deer exactly one week after Meagan. Ashley’s six-point deer weighed 130 pounds and she also shot it hunting in the Big Woods with her father, Ed. This is not Ashley’s first kill — she shot a moose last year  — but it is her first deer.
