My daughter took her first deer this weekend. She passed hunter education earlier this year, and submitted an application to participate in a Safari Club sponsored youth hunt. Being one of the fortunate ones selected, we made plans and took took several trips to a local shooting range together for her to become more proficient.
After freezing in a cold blind for a few hours, we were blessed to see some deer run into a nearby orchard. The landowner’s and Safari Club representative took us on a sneak that got within about 80 yards of where the deer were, but they were hidden from view. After waiting a bit, the deer walked up and she was able to take a perfect shot that dropped the deer in its tracks.
We’re grateful for the landowner and Safari Club’s Puget Sound chapter working together to make this possible.
I have an excited daughter, and she has a proud father.
