Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Another kid babtized in deer blood

My 12 year old G-daughter with her first kill.

I traded a no longer used by me S&W 6 in 657 for a Ruger Mk II blue and walnut in 25-06 and gave her a couple weeks ago. But the Gunsmith did not get the stock shortened in time for season.

Instead I loaned her my 700 ADL in 6mm-284 w/ Burris FF II 4.5-14x42. She used a 95 gr ballistic tip at 3300 fps mv to take this fat little doe. Her Dad helped her get prone for the shot which was just over 100 yds.

She hit the deer in the right front leg, which you can see falling over the tail gate. The bullet shattered the joint and then traversed the lower belly which opened up and dropped the gut.

We tossed that lower leg. But there was no blood shot nor gut shot on the carcass. It will be a fine eating bit of venison.

She is pretty proud, as are her Daddy and PaPa.

Sure beats the hell out of cussing Hillary!
