My wifes first kill

[elkstalkr]

Thought you guys might like to see the Lope my wife took in Nebraksa last year. It was her first big game animal to shoot. Got it with her Rem. Model 7 youth in a 7mm-08. Stalked to withing 130 yards of it. She was quite the trooper, bellied crawled for probably 50-100 yards of nebraska sandhills filled with sandburs and prickly pear. After the shot her and I immidately rolled over and started digging out stickers. She never complained once.

He only has 12.5 horns, but thats a nice herd buck for the area of NE we were hunting. Just north of Ogallala, NE right outside the town of Lewellen.

Good pics. It must be nice to have wife that hunts with you.My wife was understanding of my passion for hunting and fishing,but only went fishing with me three times in 35 year of marriage.

Kinda funny, my wife had never even picked up a gun until she met me.

LOVE IT! I think that is just AWESOME!

Those pronghorn are really fun to hunt! Looks like she did a find job and looks as if you taught her well! I KNOW you enjoyed it just as much as she did!

Nice post!

My wife hunts with me as well. She's stone cold and buck fever never seems to affect her, unlike me!

Families that hunt together, stay together.....I truly believe that.
