Kindergarten Teacher Takes First Buck with Bow
By Scott Bestul
Sue Falkner enjoyed her first season of bowhunting only last year. The Mondovi, Wisconsin, kindergarten teacher was introduced to the sport by her boyfriend, Kyle Stay. “I shot my first doe, but fell in love with the sport,” she says. “I just love being out there, watching animals and relaxing. It’s so peaceful!”
Sue got her second season off to a great start a week ago, making a perfect shot on this 145” 10-point. It was her first buck and she has not lost a bit of her initial excitement. “Kyle had me sitting in a blind in an alfalfa field, with an apple tree next to the blind,” she says. “It’s a perfect spot. Except opening weekend was hot and buggy!”
On the first evening, Sue watched a pair of coyotes run off two bucks near her stand, including the 10-point. The second afternoon she was back, armed with her book, a ThermaCell, and a bow that Kyle had increased the draw weight on only a short time ago. “I heard a munching sound behind me, and I looked up to see the 10-point right by the blind, eating apples,” Sue says. “When I tried to draw on him, I couldn’t pull the bow back, and he got spooky and left, running up into the woods. For some reason, he came back to the field, and this time I managed to pull the bow back and make a perfect shot!”
The buck ran off and Sue immediately got the jitters. “I was shaking so bad I couldn’t even text Kyle and ask him what to do next!” she laughs. “Finally, I got it done and Kyle told me to stay put; that he would be there in a few minutes. When he finally arrived, we followed the blood trail and found the buck lying 80 yards away. I still can’t believe it! I keep thinking ‘I’m over this and not as excited’…but I just keep looking at pictures of the deer. The feeling isn’t going away!”

Congrats, Way to go... THat is an awesome wall hanger there. Should make some good venison too.
What an awesome buck! Congrats!!!
Man, I wish I had some cool teachers like this when I was going through school. The majority of my teachers were openly against hunting... Great buck!
Congratulations to her!! Awesome pic and story!
Sue Falkner, Congratulations to you lady and I'm glad you fell in love with the sport!!!!!!!
That is a really nice buck. Hope I have the chance to get one of those as well. I am a new hunter started late
last season haven't gotten the oppertunity to lay one down yet but I am looking forward to it.
Always good to see women take up the sprt of hunting. that's a really nice buck. hopefully you pass n your expirience to your students.
Congrats young lady. It's great seeing new hunters joining us in the field. Once they try enjoying the outdoors they love it, I know I do. I bet her students will be drawing her all kinds of great pictures of wildlife after hearing of her success in the field.
That is awesome. I think there are more teachers out there that hunt than you think. I had a few teachers that hunted. I don't know how teachers were back then but today they take there job way too seriously and you don't know anything about them besides they are a teacher.
