Daughters successful weekend!
« on: October 16, 2022, 04:59:59 PM »
My 11 year old daughter had a great couple days hunting 2 states. We started out in Idaho on Friday hunting whitetails. Put in 11.5 miles and ended up sitting edge of a canola field in the evening. Shortly after this buck made his way out of the timber and she made a great shot at 50 yards. Her first buck! The picture of the buck at recovery tells it all. Saturday morning found us in WA for the opener and her with a youth mule deer doe tag in pocket. She made quick work with that and dropped this one in her tracks at 184 yards. This 25 creedmoor os a wicked round.  2 states, 2 deer, less than 14 hours! Couldn’t be more proud of this girl, at 11 she’s killed 4 deer, 1 elk, 5 turkeys!

Very nice.  I asked my daughters if they wanted to hunt and they said no.  I was hoping they would at least give it a try.
Cut em!
It's not the shells!  It's the shooter!

 :yeah:

I have three girls and they all had that look on their first deer.  Extreme happiness along with the uncertainty of taking a life.  One of the girls has that look on her face every time the other two are just all smiles...

Nice job! My daughter has been tagging along for 3 years now and she can’t wait to be able to hunt too. She will be going through hunters safety this offseason and ready to go next fall. I can’t wait! Congratulations to your daughter and to you too!
