Siblings Colby and Carlyle Smith had some happy hunting for Christmas. Colby, left, 13, killed this 6-point, 220-pound deer near Valley Park on Dec. 23. He was hunting with his grandfather, Jerry Smith, and uncle Jason Smith and used a 7mm-08 to make the shot.

His sister, 11-year-old Carlyle, right, shot a 10-point, 180-pound buck three days later while also hunting with their grandfather Jerry Smith and a 7mm-08.
