My family have watched 9 different bucks on our farm this year and 2 were shooters. This buck was NOT in my eyes but my it was in my daughters . She had taken several photo's of this 8 pointer thoughout the summer and vowed she would get him. I kept telling her that he needed a year or two and she would say "I dont think so and if I get a chance he is mine". Do to school and work she only had a couple days to hunt this season and it ended up being the last weekend. This past Saturday evening we went out to one of our stands near a whitetail clover field and 20 minutes before dark here he came alone and walked within 25 yards of us. I asked her if she still wanted to take him and she said yes......One shot and he was down. 8 point 160 lbs How could I say NO!   |

No way that you can say no to that.
Not many deer hunters set their goals on a specific buck and carry through on it.
My sincere congratulations to that young lady.
She did good.....

That's what it all about! She earned that deer. Congrats to her on a great deer! Nothing better than being a part of a young hunters harvest and watching them enjoy what they worked so hard for.

Well thats close enough to a shooter in my book. Especially for a young woman.....u know there aren't many young women that enjoy this sport around any more. (TRUST me i've looked!!!!)
Congrats!

That's a nice deer. Is that her first? Heck, Any deer a kid gets is great. Don't let them get picky until they've shot a few.
Nice shot too!

My 7yr old begs me to let her go everytime I plan to go hunting. One day I plan on posting picks of her with a nice deer she just smoked, but still a little to early.
Very nice job to your daughter.
