January 8, 1998 we THE HARDWARE - Ten-year-old Dustin Ruppe of Kings Mountain is pictured with four huge tro- phies he won in a Big Buck Contest at a sporting goods store in Winnsboro, S.C. Ruppe, who has been sitting in the tree stand with his father since the age of six, got his first turn at actual deer hunting this past season and killed 10 deer, winning trophies in his age division for biggest buck, biggest deer, first buck and widest spread. Briefs Page 7A Ten-year-old Dustin Ruppe's first year hunting memorable Killing ten deer in ten hunting trips is a pretty good accomplish- ment for even the most experi- enced outdoorsman. But, for a 10-year-old, first-year hunter it's a record that may be un- matched. Dustin Ruppe of Kings Mountain, a fourth grader at Bethware Elementary School, hit the jackpot in his rookie season of hunting at his dad, Tony's, farm in Winnsboro, SC. His big deer was a 155-pound, eight-point buck, and that deer and others he killed earned him trophies in the season's Big Buck Contest sponsored by No Name Hunting and Fishing, a Winnsboro sporting good store. The eight-pointer won Dustin first place in the Big Buck Contest for ages 15-and-under as well as a trophy for killing his first buck, and he also won second place for the biggest doe and third place for widest spread. Although this deer season was his first "official" one as a hunter, Dustin has been preparing for it for a long time. He has sat in the stand with his father on numerous occa- sions since the age of six, but this is the first time he's been big recognition. There will not be a meal or speaker.

IT take him about every other weekend so I get to hunt some on my own." Hunting is and old habit for Tony Ruppe, who got the bug in 1972 and has spent most of the deer seasons since in the woods. He and his partner, A.C. Woody of Lincolnton, own about 800 acres in Winnsboro and they have leased 3,000 adjoining acres. They call their place the Little River Hunting Lodge. "Only four people hunt that club unless we take them as guests," Ruppe noted, so there is a lot of big game on it - not only an abundance of deer but also turkeys, coyotes, raccoons, and bobcats. The spread also includes about 10 lakes from which Ruppe has landed some big bass. Ruppe said Dustin has also been bitten by the fishing bug and most of his summer time is spent riding a four-wheeler across the big spread. "He likes spending time down there." MISSTHESPMDEADLINE?
