Huntress Spotlight
Carol Larsson

Carol was hunting on her home farm in northwestern Kansas on a landowner transfer license. She woke up in the bed she slept in as a child, ate breakfast at her mothers table, then we walked out the front door and into the fields…

She soon spotted a buck following a doe across the wheat stubble about a quarter mile behind the house. When she shot at the buck, he jumped six feet straight up, then disappeared into a creek bottom. We followed and found him in a draw, where she put him down with a finishing shot with a 100-grain Barnes X-Bullet from her .25-06.

We didn’t score the buck, but you can see it’s a nice one. I sent you the photograph three hours after Carol shot him.

Carol is a great hunter and companion. When we married 22 years ago, she looked around and decided, “If I’m ever going to be with him, I better learn to hunt.”

I still remember hearing her over the ridge when she shot her first deer. There was the sound of her rifle, a pause and then she yelled, “I got it!” Carol is normally a very quiet girl, but that excited her. Our family photo album is mostly a collection of hunting photos of us all together. This year our 12-year-old daughter began to hunt.
