[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1485708, member: 92702"] Years ago, my wife started deer hunting with me. Since I have raised two daughters who both became fine hunters. Expect some less than perfect hits from any new hunter. Like it or not the disappointment level from them losing an animal will make you work harder to recover it than you will want to endure. I've been on enough .243 blood trails that I can assure you, you will hate the gun no matter how much she loves it. I soon found the error of my ways. One daughter started shooting a .308 with a break and the other with a 7-08, also with a break. Wife shoots a 7 Mag now. We have not needed a posse to recover an animal since. I would humbly suggest the 7-08. Add a break and she will easily put the bullets where they need to go. The animals will go down quickly, and life will be good, and you will be even happier than her. Tried everything, and if Deer are the target, 139gr SST's are the bomb. Literally. [/QUOTE]
