finally, FINALLY!

Well, for those of ya'll I ain't talked to in awhile, thanks to my oldest child I have had
to take back up deer hunting...
We've had sort of a rough go of it, she's been able to shoot the middle out of a paper
target from the very beginning, but we've had uh, performance anxiety or something
with the deer. I ain't even gonna go into how many we "scared real good" and let go
for another day :o but I shoulda bought stock in an ammo company years ago.
Anyway, I think she may be getting past that. Popped this one yesterday, broadside
right behind the shoulder at about 75 yards. Hair flew, it stumbled and got back up and
took off down the field. Before I could say anything, she done jacked another one up
in the chamber and busted him again at a 100 or so. Cease fire, cease fire! Whoa, there
ain't gonne be nothing left :p Well amazingly, she managed to keep completely out of the quarters and backstrap, but I mean there wasn't much left in between. Didn't take
much gutting ;) Not much size, but it oughta be tender anyway.

The smile on her face tells it all--Worth giving up a few crappie ,was,nt it

That's good eating size right there. tender!

Now she can move on to bigger ones...:)

Good job Jeff. Looks like you may have to keep hunting now.

Good job. You can see the pride in her face.

That ain;t all you can see on her face. LOVE that bloodied face Jeff!!!! Awesome right there for sure. Now you NEED to come do some fishing with us this spring man

Good job I know both of you are proud of that one.

great job

That's cool Jeff! She'll remember this one forever!!! Congrats

To me it's nothing like seeing the excitement when a young'n is getting a chance at a deer. When that excitement is gone then you can just hang the guns up.:p Congrats to your daughter on her very first deer and may her next one come a whole lot easier.;) Now Pops...dont even act like you aint proud too.:eek::D:D:D

nice, jeff. good to hear from you again.

Glad the two of you are getting some quality time before she dumps you for a young buck...You know it's coming!

That face and smile is something thad dad will never forget, not in a million years. Congrats on your first deer and may you get many moore.

Now there is one tender deer. Great smile, says it all. Congrats

Thanks for the replys fellows :) Good to hear from you all.

DonDon, when I stuck my finger in the blood and went for her face, she started backing up, thought I was gonna have to chase her down and sit on her :D
but she finally stood still for it.

Feelay, yeah she was texting one of them little hoodlum boys from school to tell him
about the deer before the smoke had cleared good :mad: ha ha

Man, it's just part of it all getting bloodied. My brother stuck my whole head up in the carcus after he made me gut the thing

Way to go jeff. she is hooked for life probably wont ever forget that.

That smile is worth a lot of spent ammo.
