HUNTING -- Elizabeth Odell is a model of hunting consistency.

The young Spokane hunter bagged her first turkey (see photo at left) and deer in the spring and fall seasons when she was 9 years old.

Liz, now 17, was out Saturday to keep the string going with a nice gobbler (top photo).

Odell is from Spokane and hunts with her father, Jim, and proud grandpa, Dick, who submitted the photos.

Liz is looking toward fall and continuing her impressive string of deer hunting success. If she tags one this season, it will be eight in a row.
