Opening morning of youth season my 7yo daughter took her first deer. We were in the stand before daylight and had 2 yearlings come in around 615. Over the next 45 minutes they stayed within 40yds running around, feeding, one even bedded for a while. After watching through her sight most of that time she finally made it happen and fired the shot at 7am. At the shot her deer jumped and ran into a thicket while the other kept messing around. Shortly after that, 2 adult does and another yearling came in within 20yds and finally left the area with the first one just before 8. We waited about 5min and climbed down to check for blood. There was blood right away and less than 15yds away I pulled back a wall of leafy vines to find her doe laying 2ft away. The shot was about 35yds and took out both lungs and the top of the heart. I couldnt have been more excited. She actually told me to stop shaking the stand after the shot because I got a bad case of the shakes and couldn't get my legs to stop. I had my doubts on her taking to deer hunting but I think she's hooked now. Here is her deer... Here are the 3 that came in after the shot And here's a shot of us in the stand

Great job to both of you. My daughter just turned 3 and I can't wait until she is old enough to go.
