Great start to the season for my daughter. We started with a crossbow and hunted one day morning and evening with no success. THE Next weekend a buddy from work invited us down to hunt at his place. We had deer in the field with Ann hour of sitting down. She was able to connect with one at 20 yards. IT Made it about 50 yards on its death run.
Fast forward a couple Saturday now it's opening day youth season. We had a ruger American compact that's taken my nephews first deer as well as my nieces first deer chamber in 223.
Didn't take long and "SuperStar" decided we needed to move to the shoothouse I tried to get her to go to. As we was walking to stand we saw two deer not more than 60 yards from the shoothouse. She was able to connect at 205 yards off my backpack and had her first deer with rifle. It was a decent 7 point and I'll have to say there wasn't two tickled folks. I just don't know who was prouder.
She has practiced a lot and will say has handled it all very.
Now I guess I'll brag alittle and say a turkey at 5 and a deer with crossbow and rifle at 6 there a proud Papa around.
Will get buddy to post a couple pictures

The last time that bear ate a lawyer he had the runs for 33 days!

Congrats to all involved. I was over at their house this weekend and the annual school pictures had arrived and were on the counter. Her smile didn't seem as realistic in those as it does in that top deer pic. I wonder why???

Congrats to all involved. I agree. If you could see the live version of the photo it would really work you. Defiantly the best hunting season yet between the turkey this spring and her deer this fall. I don’t even know if I’ll even shoot this year.

Pretty impressive!
My daughter is 9 and not quite ready she said to hunt. I respect that even though she's more than capable. Good on you and way too go for your little girl! I bet you're on cloud nine

So I've reached a certain age... I don't have young folks to take out anymore.. Now I am guiding retirees... Results are nearly the same.

Whoop!! Don't know whether to call her Annie Oakley or William Tell. Nice buck and doe and those smiles.

I’ve defiantly enjoyed it. She’s ready to go anytime we get a chance. Got a couple older bucks hanging close. Their not monster horns but mature deer and hopefully she will get a chance at them
