Really great stuff, Rick. Congrats to the kid and way to put that rig to work.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Thanks and double thanks for turning me on to the rig.  It has been working out great, we keep finding new uses for it.  We used it to set up the archery shoot in August and after we got the deer back to the cabin and skinned we used the Can Am to haul trees around the property replanting.  And of course the kids love driving it.

Right on!

My Thing 1 drew a rifle doe tag this year.  It'll be her first real hunt.  Going to load up some 6.5x55 ammo with her this week so we have enough for both target practice and the hunt.

She is unbelievable.

She took hunter ed at 8 and turned 9 the week of class.

First year hunting we stayed simple and really short hikes.  She was such a trooper I worked hard the next year to put her in the best position for success.  Since that first year she has shot 4 deer(one year she had a second deer tag) with a gun, one cow elk with a gun and now two deer with a bow.  She definitely gets that from her mother.  Mom is a great hunter and has been knocking down animals since she was 9 or 10.

Little sister is up next with a muzzleloader.  This will be year two for her.  Year one she shot a whitetail.

I love reading stories like this!!!  Congrats to your daughter and family for getting it done.  My 7 year old has proven to me that he can handle some hiking so he will be tagging along with me for the early rifle season this year.  Hope to be creating memories like this for many years!!!

Got the meat all cut up Monday night, backstraps cut into steaks and in the freezer. Dropped the head off to Bugs and Bones in North Bend for a euro mount Tuesday night.  Gave the heart and liver to a friend this morning.  Dropping the rest of the meat off for jerky and pepperoni to B&E meats tonight.

Looking forward to get them all back.
