Daughter's first deer

[brettman]

My daughter got her first deer on the youth Saturday this year. She's been hunting with me since she was 4 and is now 10. She's more of an evening sit kind of gal and had passed on smaller does and yearling bucks in years before. I had begun to think she wasn't really interested in pulling the trigger herself, which is perfectly fine since I thoroughly enjoy the time we get to spend together. When this doe stepped out with no fawns following I told her that was her deer. She told me she didn't think she could and I thought she didn't want to so I said you don't have to if you don't want to. Then she tells me no, I'm shaking too much! Got her calmed down enough for a perfect 100 yard high shoulder shot. She's hooked.

Congratulations to you both. My daughter is not much for recreational shooting but is always happy to pull the trigger and put some meat on the table. As a parent of two youth hunters I love seeing these post!!!!!
