Dexter, Missouri - Michalie Currie, a 2nd grade student at Southwest Elementary went hunting with her dad and brother and bagged her first deer!
She is the daughter of Michael and Robin Currie. Her brother Michael Currie Jr. is too young to hunt, but he will mostly likely follow in her footsteps.
This was her third year hunting in the annual Missouri Youth Hunt, but she shot her first deer on Sunday morning!
Congratulations Michalie we are proud of you!!!
