"SHE could have informed grandpa of her condition."

Is she 8 1/2 months preggo NOW or will be during season? If she births at term won't there be a few weeks to recover?

[Turner89]

Cool thread   if she's up for it, I think its pretty cool.
 I have no suggestions. Just hope there's lots of good success pics at the end of this stoty. GOOD LUCK!

Yeah take her hunting.

guns and unborn babies might not go to good together with the loud crack of the rifle.  little much on a babies ears.

   Kind of what I was thinking. I teach a lot of firearms classes and its widely recommended that full term, soon to be mothers not participate in shooting sports.

Can she pull back a bow? It won't be so loud on the little man's ears if you know you can get one in close.

[Igottanewknee]

My buddy has a crossbow.... That would be an option. Yes... She will be just over 8 months at the beginning of elk season.

[DIYARCHERYJUNKIE]

Crossbow it is!  She should be fine. Just take it easy when the elk are three ridges away and your closing the distance...

[JimmyHoffa]

Or could use a suppresor

My wife killed a bull a couple of years ago when she was almost 7 months pregnant with our daughter and a cow last year when she was about 5 months pregnant with our son. She also killed deer both years she was pregnant with the kids, so needless to say I did a lot of packing and not much hunting myself. We looked at it as though being pregnant gave her a little more luck.

I like your thinking. Maybe with some luck she shoots her 2nd elk ever this year and gets drawn for quality next year with her 11 points...  I'm doing multi season deer this year, so I hopefully can do enough scouting to set her up to succeed. (I know, I should be out today, but I plan on being out tomorrow.)
