The Daily Iberian · Grant, LA
Nearby: Grant, LABENTLEY – The hard-hunting, outdoors-loving Hensgens family in Grant Parish has one more deer to its credit following a hunt in mid-October, a meaningful addition because it was the second deer and first-ever buck for young Haddon Hensgens. Haddon, who celebrated his eighth birthday Nov. 5, cradled his .243-caliber Winchester Model 70 lever action rifle, aimed and squeezed the trigger while in a lock-in deer stand after seeing the 6-point buck. In the deer stand with him were his father, New Iberia native Heath Hensgens of Benton, and Eli, the oldest of Heath and Allyson Collins Hensgens’ six children. They settled in to start their deer hunt around 4:30 p.m. Oct. 16, the elder Hensgens said a few weeks later, recalling yet another memorable outing with sons and daughters. Almost two hours passed while the hunters, young and old, appreciated the time to connect with nature, to renew a tradition on the family’s second or third hunt of the season. They saw a few does, then a few spikes.
