DEKALB COUNTY, Ala. — Southern Torch would like to introduce a new column entitled Into the Woods. This column will give hunters a platform to talk about their hunt, their kill and experience. Here is our first entry into the series!

"My name is Austin Langley. I'm 17 and this week, my dad brought me down to Texas, where the good Lord allowed us to take some nice deer, coons, rabbits and even a massive boar.

The buck I shot has nine points and 16.5" spread.

I was sitting in my shooting house watching some smaller buck when I looked behind me and saw him, he followed a doe out right in front of me, I got my gun ready and turned on my camera, squeezed the trigger and down he went.

I waited until around dark and went to grab him. When I got to where he was, all I felt was excitement."

Thank you Austin for your great recount of your hunt with your dad! For a chance to be featured in a future entry of Into The Woods, submit your columns and pictures to our Managing Editor, Marla Jones at marla@southerntorch.com.
