It’s not every day that we see an 11-year-old kid jump out of bed at 4am to go hunting, especially when the thermometer only peaks out at a bone-chilling eight degrees. But that’s exactly what happens when Fernandus Garrett, Jr., known to friends and family as LJ, gets an invitation to go hunting. Hunting since the age of seven, LJ can be best described as an All-American boy that lives to hunt, fish, and explore the outdoors.
“I love hunting and shooting. I like shooting rifless more, but I also like shooting shotguns” LJ shared as he and his dad spoke via Zoom from the cab of his father’s 18-wheeler tractor-trailor. “I want to be able to feed my family in case life goes out, and nobody has money anymore. I want to be able to go out and hunt deer, turkey, and catch fish.”
