Little Girl 1 deer 0

The day finally arrived. My youngest girl was old enough to start hunting last year but it didn't work out for me to take her. This year I told her that she would go first before anybody else. So she was extremely excited to finally get to hunt instead of watching her brothers and sister hunt. Today was opening day.
Her brother kept telling her she wasn't going to get one. :nono:

To make a long story short he was wrong. and he was there to witness it. :mrgreen:
The real problem was finding it. Boy that was a nightmare. We looked for an hour and 20 minutes and almost gave up. Then I finally stumbled upon it. It was really rather hot out so I was worried about not finding it for so long. The shot was absolutely a great shot. I saw it kick up its back legs and take off so I knew it was a good hit but it went into the weeds around the old farmstead. The weeds were about 15 feet tall and thick.

heres what it looked like









This was not easy walking for an old man like me.

But we prevailed and found her. :mrgreen:

The drag was also horribly tough even though her brother helped. I think I need to take a bigger kid. :mrgreen:

This is her and her doe



yes she is a girl . You just cant see her hair :mrgreen: here is a pic of my little punkin.




Knight Littlehorn, 60 gr 777 and a 260 gr PT Gold at 87 yards.

No bullet found , it was a pass through . My guess on age is around 3 but i am not the best on aging deer . My wife is better at that than me , as far as aging by the teeth that is

Girls, guns and the great outdoors. A beautiful thing! My best days are when my daughter is totin' a rifle. Death her bad self too. Congrats!

That is a very nice Doe! Congrads her and to you! :applause: artyman: Love seeing the Youth get out to hunt! :yeah:

Great story and congrats on your harvest, judging on the face of the doe I would say 4-5 year old. As the deer ages the face gets longer, ALL ORGANIC.

:applause: :applause: :applause:

CONGRATS to that shooter :!: :!: :!: Nice size doe and plenty of tender meat. ENJOY :!:

Ray................ :yeah:

Wow!! Very nice indeed, Congrats to your daughter for the shot and to dad for sticking with it to find the doe! 8)

That's fantastic! Congrats to her.
Is that neck wound where the PT bullet exited? Or did it enter the neck and exit behind that shoulder?

No the bullet went in at the shoulder at an angle through the lungs then the liver and out the other side near the liver. The neck wound is where I cut its throat. Just an old field dressing habit. 1. so I can pull the windpipe out from the inside without fishing around up in there for the wind pipe. 2. So any blood can drain out when I hang them, as I hang them rear feet up to skin. In this case since I put ice in the chest cavity it allowed the water to drain out as the ice melted. after over 40 years I guess more than anything it is just a habit to cut the throat. :mrgreen:

Awesome... BIG Congrats to her!!! :applause: :applause: :applause:
Nothing better as a father then when your kid gets their first :yeah:

Way to go young lady!! Congratulations on your deer. And Dad ... congratulations on finding it. That looks worse then the bog marsh at my place for going through.

SWEET Way to go.

Congrats! Great shot :yeah:

Awesome story all the way around - congrats to the young lady & you too!

Congrats! Not nice shot placement by the way.
