Daughter's first deer
« on: November 28, 2010, 12:31:49 PM »
I took my 13 year old daughter out for her first deer hunting adventure yesterday. She scored on a nice doe with an 18 yard shot from the ground blind at my buddy's place. Her previous hunting experience was one turkey trip from a ground blind that had her missing a tom with her bow. I hope she's hooked enough to keep going out each year with her bow. She's still scared of rifles after her Hunter Education class, so it'll be bow or nothing for a few years.

Talk about a proud daddy moment!

2 shots mandatory from a single shot 20 gauge that kicked like a mule.  Several of the younger girls cried over it.  She hasn't wanted to shoot even a .22 since.

That's why we don't do any of that "mandatory crap" at the one I teach.  We figure that anyone who "needs the experience" will get it when dad/mom/whomever-they-hunt-with feels they are ready.
