After slowly working through some timber we set up where she could watch several skid roads. It was a perfect morning for rattling, cold and calm! I began rattling and after 45 seconds Julie and Kyle spotted a deer moving in through the trees. When they saw deep forks on the perfect 4pt, Julie repositioned her rifle and the buck stopped in an open shooting lane 90 steps away. I couldn't see the buck where I was sitting, but when I saw her take the safety off I knew something more then a forked horn was in her sights. After the shot the buck only went about 60ft and piled up. Julie made a perfect shot on her first game animal and is extremely happy with her first Blacktail buck. I'm really proud of the way she handled herself and couldn't be happier for her!

What caliber and make is her rifle? That is an awesome buck! I am looking for a quality rifle for my ten year old son!
She was shooting a .243, but I never asked or looked at the brand. Her husband Kyle loaded the ammunition for her.
We were expecting snow Saturday, so she put blue tape over the muzzle to keep the moisture out.
The buck netted 145 6/8 if anybody cares. It was shot in the Cascades and can only be scored as a mule deer.
Here's a couple more pics of Julie and Kyle...
