Took my daughter out hunting for the first time ever this year.....4 grown men with hunting experiance adding up to over 130years.......and 1 13yrold girl....with total hunting experiance of 1 day and 3 hours. (to be fair tho, she has been shooting since she was 4yrs old)
Well needless to say......of the 5 of us up there, she was the only one to get a deer
.....this is a 3pt buck...that dressed about 165lbs..I have a better pic that shows its true size...but theres a bit of blood in it and i think posting it may be a little off putting to some.
It took me about 45mins to field dress it...due to me shaking like an 18yrold virgin at the prom....and wiping the tears from my face. Thankfully i managed to get it done and come out of it with all 10 fingers. Easiest drag ever also....as it fell 40yards from a trail.....and we have a Ranger up at the mountain house....(gone are the days of me humping a deer 4hrs out of the woods
)
She used the new Marlin 336 Lever in 35Remingon i bought her before the trip......needless to say it works well....1 shot...that was it...game over.
Im hoping that next year she gives a little seminar to us older pro's....as it appears we need it The whole time I knew her grandpop, my dad, was looking down on her smiling.....
God im so very Proud of her!!!!!!!
I know its not fishing......but I wanted to share this with you guys, hope no one is offended.
