    Well, I got an invite from a great buddy to go to his place and try and get my daughter her first deer. Well it worked!!!

    Rise and shine her from bed at 0400 this morning and bundle her up!

    Get settled and it's a great chilly morning. But she says she's warm. Great sunrise and then three does come out. She's shaking all over the place!!! I tell her which one to go for and she says she can't keep the cross hairs on her.

    I have to settle her down and tell her a few times to hold off when the deer moves and is not broad side!!!

    She finally settles the cross hairs and drops her! A bunch of high fives and man I'm as pumped as I've ever been. My 11 year old just got her first deer!!!

    Very nice. My BIL has two girls that love to hunt and fish with dad.

    What was she shooting?

    Great job young lady and hunting party. You are also a good sport (Blood Rite) as hundreds of thousands of others have been done before you. Congratulations!

    Awesome, great job young lady! So what caliber, .223?
    .308

    And just so everyone knows it's the camera angle in the picture that makes it look like the barrel is pointing at her. Her safety comes first. I can promise it's pointed well away from her. I made sure of that!!!!

    She even went to go around the rear of the deer after I set the rifle down. I told her why she couldn't and to come around the left (head) side to grab the ears. The barrel is pointed well behind her. Just a camera angle, eye trick making it look like it's pointed at her!!!!

    I am glad you clarified this. These kind of images always make me worried when I can't see if the action is open. I bet she is a happy girl!

    And the rifle was cleared, magazine emptied etc!!!!! Just re-inserted so not lost. I always unload before I get out of a stand!!!! But a rifle is always loaded rule is something that's drilled into her!!!!
