We finally had a one day reprieve on our bitterly cold weather today. Made it into the low 30s and the kids got out of school early. I helped my 10 year old with her homework, then we packed up and went on her first hunt where she was carrying a firearm. We have a local apple orchard about 5 miles from the house and it's on a century-old farm with lots of old buildings and a shelterbelt. Perfect rabbit cover. We spent the last hour of daylight hunting and ended up with three. We spotted the first one and I got her into position to shoot and she said, "I want to see you shoot one first." So I shot that one. We kept going a little farther and another sat perfect still, broadside. She carefully maneuvered next to a 4" tree and used it for support. Perfect shot through the ribcage, it flipped over and never moved. She was very, very excited - so was I! All of her target shooting is paying off in preparation for deer hnting next fall.

Nice! Can tell by the smile she is proud of that one! Congratulations to both of you and good luck on the deer hunt next fall.

My congratulations to the young lady! It has been many moons since I took my first cottontail, but I do remember it. More importantly, I remember my Grandfather being there with me. She'll have you with her every time she hunts now. May that be for many good years to come!

Good job young lady!!!!!

Too cool!
