Had my 9 year old daughter along on our first solo hunting trip together. We had an amazing time. I could write a few chapters on what this hunt meant to us both but pictures are worth a thousand words. I got the buck but she is way more photogenic than I. T/C Hawken .54, 100 gr Swiss 2F, 450 Lyman Plains Bullet. 80 yard neck shot. We hunted right from camp and saw 12 bucks total. She is a trooper and as she puts it., “Dad, I have my Hunters Eye now..” ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/xJsedGeh.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/K3HrZ6Qh.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/4ZHfa3qh.jpg) Thanks for looking, Todd

Your beautiful daughter strikes a great pose. Congratulations to you both!

Frame that middle picture. It will be one of the best trophies you ever get.
You get out of life what you are willing to accept. If you ain't happy, do something about it!

I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

No better time spent afield than with your kids.
Congrats on the buck and your hunting partner.
My best memories with my kids have been in the field hunting or at the lake

Congrats to you both! Doesn't get much better than that.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
