A group of kids will be rising early Saturday morning to head into the fields, hoping to return with a deer.

But these aren't just any kids. They're not letting disabilities stand in the way of taking part in a long-time South Dakota tradition.

There're all kinds of reasons for a kid to come to the PDR Youth Deer Hunt in Clark, South Dakota. Marshall Hanson is back for his second year.

"Cause it's fun and I want to get a deer," Marshall said.

Not to mention spend more time with a now very close friend. George Florey was his guide last year.

"I didn't know what to expect until you meet him," Florey said.

And the past year gives you an idea of how that went. Marshall spent time in the hospital; Florey went to visit.

"And I've been calling him and bugging him to make sure he was doing good and out shooting his rifle,” Florey said. “We try and keep in touch a little bit."

"Quite a bit, he's called every day for ten days now," Marshall said.

Brad Rasmussen is a guide for the first time this year and hopes his time pans out similar to Florey's.

"Very excited, I've been looking forward to this all year," Rasmussen said.

He can still remember his first time deer hunting. He got hooked and hopes the same happens with the kid he guides. It could happen to Brady Bunker, who's headed out for his first time Saturday.

"Yeah, I'm really pumped, ready to get out there," Brady said.

Like Marshall, he too has a goal of getting a deer with fun added to the mix regardless.

"A lot, maybe too much," Marshall said.

And a full weekend of that fun lies ahead.

Rasmussen has been looking forward to the hunt so much, that he and his wife are spending their wedding anniversary taking part in it.
