Way to go! Congrats all around and looks like she did the gene pool a favor too! Gotta love it. Love that smile.

Thumbs up also. Do keep her at it.
A suggestion: For the next pic, tuck the tongue back in.
Should be some good grub as well.

Good for her!
Brings back memories--both of my daughters shot their first deer with a No.1 RSI in .243 Winchester.

What a joy to have such a lovely young woman become a huntress. Your doing good.

Great Job! Congratulations, very nice first buck! What caliber did she use to take the deer? How far, and did you guys have to track the deer at all?

It is a 250 Savage. I used my 99 loads, 87 gr Speer. It was only about 35 yds and ran about same into the brush. Little guy was rutting hard, chasing does in a food plot. It was hard for her because he wouldn't hold still for long. Killed my first with a 250 in savage 99 using same load.

Nice 1st buck, congrats to your daughter.
A gun in the hand is worth more than the entire police force on the phone.
