Hammer: Emotions soar as 14-year-old youth hunter brings down her target buck on opening weekend

I don’t know how your deer season has gone so far. For Halle and Matt Thompson of Pollok, opening morning turned out to be one they won’t soon forget.

Matt is a deer hunting dad who always has his daughter’s back. Halle is a 14-year old freshman at Lead Academy who scores an A+ for her deer hunting perseverance.

“She’s always been real independent and determined,” Matt Thompson said. “Whatever she is doing — hunting or fishing — Halle is all about it. She’s even got her own trotline at Toledo Bend.”
