My daughters first buck! (I added a pic of my sons 2010 buck post #34)

I took my daughter to the stand with me on the Sunday of opening weekend just to spend some quality time with her. We had no intentions of her shooting a deer that day. I have seen this buck on the trail camera, and while it is I nice 10 pointer (5x5) I had decided not to shoot it this year. So, we are sitting in the stand and at 5:15pm guess who shows up. We watched him for about 5 minutes and my daughter kept saying that she couldn't believe that I wasn't going to shoot. She then said how nice that would be for her first buck. Then she asked if she could shoot it. How could I say no? I said of course and the rest is history. One shot from my TIKKA T3 lite 30/06 and a 150 grain Barnes TTSX and he dropped like a rock.

He scored 144" gross B&C. A trophy to remember.

Nice Buck, and good pictures. Great memeories and photo's to match. It is rare to see a buck like that around our deer camp. We just do not seem to have the gene pool and feed to grow them like that.

Fantastic. Way to go. We hunted all week and had no luck at all. Nice to see such a nice buck taken by a new hunter. Hope the tradition continues for you and your daughter.

Do I understand correctly that if not for your daughter, you would have passed on that deer?
