I bought a couple of M.Miller knives here on the Fire. My intention was to present a knife to my Granddaughter when she shoots her first deer. She is 9 years old and shooting good. She's ready. Well on Saturday Oct.29 she got it done. I just wanted to say thanks to Mike and Vince. They helped me make some very special memories with my granddaughter that will last a lifetime. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/QCVFfdSW/thumbnail-18.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/kgwBPSZt/thumbnail-16.jpg) I had it engraved for her so she will always remember her first deer with Pop Pop. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/XJxtLVDF/thumbnail-5.jpg) We gutted and skinned the deer together. I taught her just like my grandfather taught me over 50 years ago. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/SKFq5xQz/thumbnail-12.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Fz2nR1By/thumbnail-13.jpg) A couple of M. Miller Knives. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/SKkQRK0b/thumbnail-14.jpg) Thanks guy's for helping me make this happen.

That is awesome, congrats! My granddaughter took her first deer this past weekend on a youth hunt. I wasn't there, she was with her dad and brother but I was the first place they came after getting out of the woods. Being a grandparent is pretty darned fun!!!

Beautiful knife and a beautiful story. Looks like she got her dear on my birthday. I’m a licensed guide in NY (Adirondacks) and Maine, my congratulations to the hunter. She’ll be super proud when the family sits down to a meal that she provided.

Thanks for the reply's. Next goal is to get one for her 7 year old brother. He's ready too. He just shot his first pig. Now he wants to shoot a deer like Big sis. He's getting a knife too. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/SR6w0yCf/thumbnail-20.jpg) His first Kill.
