My wife and I have raised Raven since birth. Have not pushed hunting on her at all, kinda let her decide the IF and when she would go. Last year she asked so we went out a few times, seen several ,but never close enough for a shot. This year she has bugged me to death about wanting to go, so I told her we would do evenings, and hunt out of our box blinds. We had a 4 pt. come in about 5:10, but caught her off guard and he sensed something was wrong , turned and left. At 5:40 another buck comes into plot in same place other buck had. This time she was ready and had gun on tripod pointed right at him. Told her to take a deep breath, I clicked off safety, reminded her to put cross hairs on middle of shoulder, and said squezze trigger. (The buck drops like a sack potatoes. ) Not a easy shot for a 11 year old @ 50 yds, but she 10 ringed him. She was beyond herself in excitement... LOL. Very proud Grandpa moment.     |

Great shot placement! Congratulations to the young hunter! Kudos to you for not forcing it on her and, when she was ready, getting her out!

That's called "doing Grandpa right." Awesome job both of you!!
When you think about it, there were two impacts in this story.
One on the deer.
The other impact, beyond measure, was made on the life of a young lady over the years, and it goes way beyond deer hunting.

That’s the best! Probably as exciting for you as it was for her!

Congrats! He'll be good eating. I remember my first deer, a small one like this. But that doesn't matter, because just like her I was super excited and was shaking like a leaf for a while during and after the shot.
