Congrats to you and the family. I cant get any of my daughters interested in more than a drive in the woods :bash: Mark
I feel your pain!
My Daughter hunted for two years, at the age of 12 (for four days) and at the age of 13 (for one day) now at 15 I am lucky to get her away from her friends or activities for a drive in the woods also. She had a doe tag when she was 12 and turned down a doe the first day, stating she wanted to kill a buck. I sure wish she would have shot, maybe she would have got the hunting bug.

Congratulations to her and you , nice deer. I was hoping to take my daughter out this year but she seems to of lost interest at least on deer with a rifle really disappointing but I have not given up yet. I have 3 daughters and the oldest 2 have no interest at all in hunting,I think its a recoil issue with this one all she wants to do is grouse hunt with her .22.The trick I learned a long time ago with my girls is a long walk w/no deer makes them not want to go out. When I lived on the Eastside I would do my scouting and sit the kids down in fields or in the woods where the deer move through. Make a good rest for the gun for a clean shot. And when your girl wants to go home it's time to listen, girls like it fun. It's legal to bait deer. So I would set up my ground blind and put out apples and grain, (Cob). We would sit a spit sunflower seeds. I use shoot sticks so the kids are very steady. Have them go out with you when you put out bait. As far as recoil goes, I use youth mod. guns with a good recoil pad. 243 and 7mm-08. I have them shoot from a good rest. I also drop an empty round in when there not looking to see if there flinching. When they say I kicks, I tell them you will never feel the gun go off when you shot a deer. Everyone of my girls on there first deer said I never felt the recoil. It's the first words out of there mouth. When my oldest daughter was 13 I didn't have a gun for her to hunt that night, I had my other two guns w/two of my other daughters. So I asked a buddy if he would sit w/her and use his 7mm Rem. Mag. he was tagged out. she said does it kick I said O yes, but you will never feel it when you shot a deer, she said ok. She killed a 3 point at over 300 yds that evening. BTW, I used a ground blind with apples for these blacktails. They will pattern like a whitetail if you feed them. When your daughter gets older and can handle the wt. of the gun better, they will go on walks w/you. It's hard to get a good rest for a small kid. The goal is to get them on deer and get them into hunting.
