Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting Daughter's first buck and my hunt of a lifetime

Well, my daughter Kenzi connected on a nice young 8 point last Saturday evening on our next to last day of our firearms season, her first buck and her second deer (she got one a couple of weeks ago with crossbow but that is another story). We put in our sits and almost got a shot previously but no shots fired; she persevered and I got her to go out one last time Saturday afternoon and she said "it was her last". The wind was howling from them to us and he came in at 80 yards. To say this hadn't been an undertaking for 1 man with her disabilities is an understatement; I did learn some things that will make it easier for next fall because she says she wants to go again. She was excited to "fill the freezer" again and I took her to the processor to help tell them what we wanted (she froze up under pressure). I wish I could attach videos of pre-and post-shot to hear her excitement but if there is a way I don't know how to do it.

I haven't hunted much the past few years due to our situation but it looks like now I've got my daughter wanting to go so I will be able to help her reach her dreams which will take care of my dreams also. Just remember, you can do a world of good getting a youth or someone outdoors that otherwise might not get out there!

Best story of the year. I'm smilin like heck. Congrats to you sir on some fine work. But a bigger congrats to your daughter. There is NOTHING like sitting with your kids on their first deer!!

No kidding tzone how can you not smile reading this post and looking at the pictures - really good stuff!!!! Way to go Kenzi and dad - love that last picture with both of you and the deer - great!!!

Tulsaburnside: Please extend my congratulations to your daughter on harvesting that fine Whitetail Buck!
I am so happy for her (and you!)!
I hope she is already looking forward to next season.
Pause to clear some tears...
I am so thankful she was able to get afield with her father.
Please share more often.

P.S. If you'all ever get up SW Montana way I would love to host you'all on a Colony Varmint Hunt - we shoot a lot on private lands from within our vehicles.

Guys, I hate to say it, but if you think this one tears you up, wait til you see the post I am working on right now for her doe she killed a couple of weeks ago. If I could attach videos, this emotion you see from her fills your soul.

I salute you as a father and as a man, tulsaburnside. Thank you for sharing your daughter's and your story. Beautiful!

Huge congrats to both of you! Truly an amazing story and great buck! Great photos and smiles to last a lifetime.

I hope you framed those last two pictures. They are perfect.

Congratulations to the young lady for getting her first buck and to you for taking the time.

Good stuff here! Love to see the smiles... congratulations to you all...

Congrats! Upload your videos to youtube and post them here if youd like.

How do I post the YouTube link?

Absolutely terrific, kudos to you Dad !!!! Congrats to your daughter on a great buck and more importantly, the experience !!!!!!

You already have a youtube video uploaded??

If you want you can just copy the url here and someone will "fix" it for you. Or if you wanna try it yourself, when you make a post use the full editor, and then at the top of the post there is a little "movie" symbol to the right of a picture symbol. Click the movie one(if you point at it it says insert media tag), and youll get a bunch of choices. One will be youtube, click youtube. A box will pop up, enter the youtube url in there and click ok. The click post reply. Itll show the video here then.

A Big Congrads to Kenzi, and to you Dad! Great Buck and Great Eating!

t b s you and your daughter just made my day I hope both of you have a long and happy hunting time together

Congrats to the young lady!

OUTSTANDING! Great buck and an even better hunt and story. Thank you for sharing it with us.

Congrats!
