My nine year old got her first buck friday evening. After looking hard for a 5 point muley we had spotted prior to the season, the opener was a bust. So I took her over to try for a whitetail. She really wanted a buck but she would take a doe if she got the chance. first thing friday morning we jump a doe but dad is too slow with the shooting sticks. that evening we went to a honey hole and just as we arrived three doe were running across the open bowl. I couldn't get the deer to stop so she didn't get a shot off. We moved into position and sat down with a half hour of shooting light left. My daughter was giving me a hard time about not letting her shot at the running does when I spotted a buck feeding. How the buck ended up in the middle of a fairly open bowl, I don't know but there he was at about 120 yards. this time the sticks were in place and my daughter made a good shot.
funny how things work out sometimes.
