They call him the “Deerslayer.” He’s a six year old from Beebe who's already bagged 6 deer, in his lifetime.
Hunter Orman is your typical 6 year old kid; he likes video games and four wheelers. But there is something that makes him stand out. His nickname is the “Deerslayer.” That's because this first grader has already taken 6 deer since last year. His biggest, a 140 pound doe.
"We've just had a ball. He does really good. I didn't think he was big enough to go last year and we practiced a whole bunch with a .22. We got him a .223 which is a small rifle, about as small of a rifle you can hunt with. He actually killed two deer with it, then he wanted to try the crossbow and it seemed to work better than the gun,” says dad Cayne Orman.
A young man of few words, Hunter does have some advice for his fellow hunters. "Be quiet, and practice." Which he does plenty of.
"I don't even have to tell him what to do anymore. He just shows up and he sits there and the deer come in and move. He knows exactly what to do."
Hunter killed 5 deer last year with a special permit and one this season.
