Daughter got it done-First buck is a good one!
« on: October 16, 2017, 07:29:04 PM »
13 year old daughter got it done on her first buck opening day.  Third year out, couple of almost done its the last couple of years and she closed the deal this year.  Not much of a story to tell, just being in the right place at the right time.  70 yard shot with the 7mm-08 and it was lights out.

PS-She did have hunter's orange and her tag was punched and on the deer but we took some pictures without the orange and she wouldn't let me post the ones with orange because she didn't like them, teenagers  :dunno: :chuckle:

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

I  told her she could get it mounted or go to college, it was her choice.  She said lets go to the taxidermist!  That's my girl! :chuckle: :chuckle:

Congrats on a great buck.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
