Went well! However, it is hunting not shooting, and having two women tagging along behind you when hunting very open country is...well...not easy. I did get my niece on a 3 point, 125 yards, on the sticks, in the scope, quartering to us, take your time settle down....waiting....waiting....waiting....deer trots off! What happened I ask, she says she tried to place the cross hairs exactly where I told her. I guess I should have told her not that exact. My fault.
Ended up with this 3 pt. just before dark on opening day. It happened fast as they often do, quick glance at both bucks, the first one is larger, bang, in the neck at 150 yards. The niece loved watching me field dress the deer, she held legs and asked questions. I think next year I will have her apply for a doe tag. Get one under her belt before dealing with the whole 3 pt. minimum game.
Ranch was very nice, we saw 60 deer per day, about 5 bucks per day, a few big ones and lots of in between. Will try to go back for sure!
