My Daughters First Deer!

[303 hunter]

My 11 year old daughter, Reagan, shot her first deer today, a 6 point buck. She shot him with her CVA .243 at 100 yards with a high shoulder shot, and he was DRT. I'm so proud of her I could bust!

Congrats Sir, I hope to be in the same situation tomorrow, I was unable to hunt today with my daughter but we got a blind set up this afternoon.

The rush is better than when you're by yourself. At least it is for me , especially when it's their first deer.

Congratulations to your daughter on her first deer! Congrats to you on training up a good new hunter!

You're right, I'd rather see her shoot with the knowledge I've taught her than do the deed myself. A BIG pot of deer stew is good either way....

When my oldest son shot his fist deer I though my heart was gonna beat out of my chest. It took a good 30 minutes to recover.

Yep, I think I got more excited than she did! Deep fried tenderloin and buttermilk biscuits for breakfast....

Congrats to the both of you!!! I just got my second deer last weekend, and I'm 60. This was my first deer from actually going afield and hunting for them, the other one was more of a pest control kill.

I just did the same kind of shot yesterday but she got a much nicer buck! Congratulations!

Spent about 3 and a half hours in the blind this morning, saw a pair of does about a 1/4 mile south that disappeared into another woods. Nothing else, but when I broke open a thermos of hot chocolate for her I got lots of smiles. My Mom lives at the other side of the farm, watched the buck in the field about a half mile from us mounting a doe, got her thrill for the day I guess. So I know it has lasted the first day of deer gun season anyhow.

Great job, tell her good shot and good job keeping patient!

 

[gspn]

Great job to both of you.

I'm glad for her and you. Keep it up and she'll shoot a bigger one than you.
