Here is the story.
My oldest daughter has tried bow hunting for a few years with no luck. We never felt good trying a shot....as a rifle hunter I wasn't the greatest mentor and we saw lots of deer......but almost all were over forty yards.
Her very first day of archery hunting three years ago we had one big buck come very close (named Big Buck Chuck by my daughter) but he wouldn't stop so she could shoot.....
We took a nap by a log that same afternoon. When we woke-up a doe had bedded down near us.....no clue when the doe came over or if she knew we were there initially. We waited forever...it seemed like....for that doe to stand up. About thirty minutes into waiting she was named "Lady" by my daughter. I knew the doe was safe as soon as she was given a name. We walked away without taking a shot and the doe acted like we were a non-threat, which we were by that time. She hunted with a bow the next couple of years with no good opportunities so she said she wanted to try modern. It is ironic that her best bow opportunities were on her first day hunting.
I was hunting this weekend with all three kids. My son is too young so he was along for the ride. I quickly learned that my organizational skills are lacking with three kids in tow. We were in a state of chaos the entire weekend. My dad agreed to keep my son in the truck while I took my two daughters on a little push. (My son's jumping on logs and climbing trees wasn't helping my daughters. LOL) We followed a nice game trail until we found a group of does 162 yards out. My daughter took her time and dropped the doe instantly with her first shot. Thank goodness for the well placed stump that she used as a rest for the gun. It gave her the stability she needs. I definitely have two girls that love hunting. Very cool.
