The eyes tell the story
« on: December 31, 2021, 02:51:02 PM »
First time to get the 200th retrieve before January. Daughter did it with a greenhead this morning, smoked at 15yds, and I decided to take pics of her doing it. This pre-shot was too cool to not share. All our hunts are memorable, but this one by has become my favorite.

She'll be off to college this fall, so the hunts together may get few and far. May she have had enough enjoyment to alwzys come home for another good shoot. Luv you Amerika

Great pictures, thank you for sharing!  Judging by the smile on her face, she'll be getting back for a hunt every opportunity she has.  Amerika is a great name, any chance her birthday is July 4th?  I used to work with a guy whose wife's birthday was the 4th and her name was Freedom.

Always memorable moments through life watching your little one advance and improve and only a parent gets to experience that joy. Always opportunities to go to her college town to hunt new land for a surprise weekend

Her name was chosen the very morning we discovered mom being pregnant, which also happened to be 30 minutes prior to leaving for the war in Iraq.
