my daughter started hunting deer last year,getting drawn for mulie. Our 2nd day out she took this guy at just over 100 yds with one shot from her 243 browning blr.

this saturday we went out for her second day of hunting this year, looking for whitetail. We saw a few and she passed on one because she couldn't get a steady shot because of the wind. We found this guy a few minutes later and she took him at 90 yards with one shot, bang flop.

well another year and we are out hunting moose, we have antlerless tags. We spotted a cow and calf by a bluff about half a mile away, as we had already messed up stalks on to other moose we waited and watched for about half an hour. We decided that Megan and I would circle to the west and set up in a bluff next to where we had seen the moose, and my brother would circle to the east and push them towards us. they broke out about 250 yrds away and headed south, thought we had messed up again but then they turn and started right towards us. When the cow was about 80 yrds I stood up so she wouldn't run over us. She turned to our left, went about 20 yrds and stopped to look for her calves. Megan put a 120 grain barnes bullet from her 6.5x55 thru her lower shoulder and then thru her heart. She ran about 20 yrds and spun around and collapsed.

Congats to you & your daughter! I've always joked with my wife that "I'm not having girls!!!"...

You guys posting pics of your daughters hunting with you are making me "rethink" my position...

I'd still have to buy more guns right before they start dating though...

Cheers

Nice going. She obviously has the hunting bug. This is what we need to see, more young hunters taking up the past time of outdoor activities like hunting.
 
Good to see the girls get out too...I always wonder what the girls friends think of them hunting, positive or negative???:)
 
Great work,my daughters only 2 but I have plans on getting her into hunting and shooting.Her mother may have other ideas but:).I just picked up a savage cub for my 5 yr old son for Christmas that will be passed down to her.I can't wait untill I can start posting pics of my kids with their first deer.
