Congrats to her! What I'm confused about is theyre calling the deer a whitetail. I didn't think there were any WT that far west?

Not to mention there is no need to draw an archery permit for that area.

Cool for the kid. Unfortunate the writer didn't fact check better, imo.

Just like where we elk hunt in 340. Your not allowed to shoot a whitetail buck but there are a few good bucks down in the taneum creek drainage.

My daughter shot her first deer at 7. There's no min age in WA.

7 for my daughter, 8 for my son when they shot their first. Both of them had points before they carried a rifle, so it could also be a misunderstanding on the author's part as well.

That's pretty awesome.
