Daughter finally pulls the trigger. #15620702 01/06/21

OP bamagun01 Campfire Regular B Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 2,845	After two years of passing on young deer, bucks that were too far, not being comfortable with the shot my daughter finally pulled the trigger. I’m as happy as she is. She wanted to kill a bigger buck than her brothers did on their first deer. I finally convinced her that a bigger buck may not present itself broad side at 40yds and let her get perfectly set so she could shoot him. (That usually only happens on TV). After shooting her deer I told her “that was an 86yd shot”. She was surprised because she passed on a 6pt @ 90 yds earlier this year because she said she couldn’t shoot that far. She made the shot and the deer run about 40yds and died. Perfect double lung shot! Now maybe a buck will allow the same shot.

Started with only breadbasket shots for certainty of hitting vitals. The last one she got, I had her in a nice raised blind, and we had decided it was only lights out, high shoulder shots if we could help it. A yearling was facing us, with fading light, and she wanted to shoot it. It's front legs were spread apart a bit, head down, eating. We were elevated. I explained best I could to aim where the neck meets the shoulders, dead center. She made a perfect shot, as usual. @100 yds. The deer dropped to it's knees, and tipped over. She thought she missed because she didn't see movement. When we didn't have to track, and pulled the four wheeler right along side the deer, she appreciated that we were shooting for the nerve bundle rather than lungs. She's got shooting down pat, now if I can get her to gut deer by herself I'll be set!

That's your legacy. AKA The P-Man If you cherish your memories with kids, be a good role model . . . . so the RIGHT memories of you mean something to them.
