Title: Daughter's first deer
Post by: Bob33 on October 16, 2017, 07:58:15 AM: My daughter took her first deer this weekend. She passed hunter education earlier this year, and submitted an application to participate in a Safari Club sponsored youth hunt. Being one of the fortunate ones selected, we made plans and took took several trips to a local shooting range together for her to become more proficient.

After freezing in a cold blind for a few hours, we were blessed to see some deer run into a nearby orchard. The landowner’s and Safari Club representative took us on a sneak that got within about 80 yards of where the deer were, but they were hidden from view. After waiting a bit, the deer walked up and she was able to take a perfect shot that dropped the deer in its tracks.

We’re grateful for the landowner and Safari Club’s Puget Sound chapter working together to make this possible.

I have an excited daughter, and she has a proud father.

Post by: Stein on October 16, 2017, 06:31:02 PM: Hey Bob, I think we briefly met Sunday? I had the other "little" girl up there.

That operation is straight first class, I can't believe all the work they do for the kids. I know what it is like to try to line up a quality experience for one kid, I can't imagine the stress and challenge of trying to get 5-6 different groups on animals with a quality experience at the same time.

Both the landowner and guide were the absolute best people I have met in the field. In addition to an awesome hunting experience, we had the opportunity to talk about their farm and the complex issues around managing a herd and how they can impact farm in a positive and negative way.

Sorry to semi-hijack, I just wanted to give credit where it was due.
