I Have Proof
Emmerson, 11 years old, is the eldest daughter of Blake Mallory and has been hunting for the past three years. However, with only three years of hunting she has been shooting archery since she was 3 years old. Blake has been filming her progression from toy bows to compound, where she is now pulling 42lbs. Emmerson insisted on taking her bow into the woods during the Michigan 2023 youth season, even though she was allowed to hunt with a firearm. On September 10th, the final day of the Michigan youth season, Emmerson went to the woods with the hope of tagging her first archery buck. The evening started off exciting with numerous buck just out of her 22 yard max range. Finally, about 45 minutes before dark the biggest buck on the property ends up coming down the main trail at 13 yards. The 150”+ whitetail walks perfectly broadside and the 11 year old performs like a seasoned pro.
