good shootin young lady! Addison says great job!

That is just awesome!  Way to keep her in the game and letting her work it out for herself.  The fact that she held out for a buck to start with and then hung in there to finally connect all the way to putting it in the freezer - She is now a Hunter - good on you.

I almost didn’t post this but I have to, I’m just so proud of her! My 9 year old daughter shot her first deer sunday! We had an eventful weekend with plenty of opportunities. She made me proud and passed up some easy does first thing wanting to kill a buck. We spotted a good one but didn’t get a shot before he went over the ridge and got shot by another hunter. Later that afternoon we spotted some does but buck fever got the best of her and she missed. Sunday morning found us in the same area and lots of does out in the wheat stubble(she drew a mule deer doe tag) we made a plan and started our hunt. Another missed shot, right over the back! Next draw over I spotted another and we stalked up to about 130yds, she got set up and I was talking her through the shot, she shot right over her back and the hillside erupted with deer. Another big doe came running up from the bottom and I said get on her and wait until she stops. When she did I said breathe, slowly squBOOM! The deer dropped in its tracks. She started laughing and yelling uncontrollably with excitement, she started crying, I started crying, my buddy started crying. It was my favorite hunting experience to date without a doubt! I couldn’t be more proud of her and can’t wait for our future hunting together. 160yds ruger American 6mm creedmoor 105gr bergers.





Happy for her, can't wit to hear her version of the story on Friday.  Thank God, It's time to chase some Pheasants!
A bad day out hunting is better than a good day at work!

 That picture with you and her just before the shot is priceless! The others are great as well but that one is my favorite.

I find nothing more uplifting than to read one of life's "cherished moments," especially those that are shared between a parent and child. So THANK YOU for deciding in favor of posting this!
Please tell your daughter CONGRATULATIONS on her big doe! It sure is a beauty and worth every bit of effort she put in to it.


"She started laughing and yelling uncontrollably with excitement, she started crying, I started crying, my buddy started crying. It was my favorite hunting experience to date without a doubt! I couldn’t be more proud of her and can’t wait for our future hunting together."


Oh for heaven's sake! I cried too!!
I mean.. When a 9 year old girl exhibits 100% determination and backs it with 100% self control and another 100% resilience ... tears happen! .. and I'd like to thank you both for them too..
