my daughters first deer!!!

[trophyhunt]

My daughter drew for the green river youth tag, we haven't hunted real hard the past 4 years since she passed her hunting class so this was her best shot at getting her first deer. Lucky for us my dad also drew a  tag for the water shed, his was a doe tag.  To be able to hunt with my dad, daughter and my wife in a special place was truly a blessing.  Our day started off with seeing one spike elk with 6 cows, and an hour after light my dad spotted two does which he decided to pass on hoping we would shoot a buck first.  We thought it would be possible to shoot a buck and at the same time get the doe that he would likely be with, well that's exactly what happend. It couldn't have been more perfect of a morning.  We went up higher to some older clear cuts about 930 in the morn, just as a turned a corner my dad See's the biggest buck he's ever seen.  We keep driving to get around the corner so the deer couldn't see us, he was bedded down with a doe about 30 yards off the road up a slight hill.  I got my daughter out a walk down the road around the corner and there he was, set her up on the tripod for a good rest and then he stood up just as she was ready.... perfect timing- BOOM!  The buck walk up hill slowly and started wobbling I knew he was done at that point, as he started going down my dad asked "Is that a doe" and then it hit me we had one more deer to shoot.  Yes it was a doe and my dad took her out with one shot, both deer down in less than 30 seconds with one shot each.  I couldn't believe the size of the buck that she got, I've been hunting blacktails since I was 18 and now I'm 41 without shooting a buck close to this size. It was one of the most specials days in my life and I could tell my dad's as well, and with his health getting worse this hunt was truly a blessed event and I did thank God for everything. I am sooo proud of my daughter, she was so calm and made a perfect shot. Saturday was the Perfect day, thanks for reading our adventure.
