Caleb Heath kept hunting as his family was packing up to leave the Garrison area for home in Elk River. The youth's determination on a cold morning was rewarded when this seven-point buck edged into his view at a distance of 35 yards. When the deer turned broadside, Caleb fired a .243-caliber rifle that downed the animal within a short distance of where it was hit.
