My wife got it done last night. She shot him at a little over 100 yards and he ran out of the wheat field and into the south pasture. Her shot was a little far back, and we bumped him when we went looking. She saw him first, walking away at about 70 yards. I took her rifle and put him down there. She is very pleased with her first deer.

Very nice deer……especially for a first! A big Congratulations to your wife, and to you as well. Having a wife that hunts and shares your passion for hunting, is second only to making it a family affair with your wife and kids! memtb
