A group of hunters in Augusta may not have bagged a 30-point-buck this year, but they certainly were successful. They've shot 53 deer in the past 9 days.

Richard Price says he's got at least 30 hanging from his tree, all shot by about 25 of his family and friends.

They shot 15 bucks, and the largest was a nine-point buck.

Price says there's a special strategy for their hunting success.

"We get a big group of guys and we don't sit, we walk, we push the woods and we move 'em. I mean, they ain't movin’ if you're just sittin',” he says.

Price says the hunters plan to divide the meat up and enjoy eating their venison.

He hung so many of the deer this season in honor of his grandmother—an avid hunter—who passed away this year.
