My 10 year old Allison got her first deer!

My daughter Allison had her first encounter with this guy back during the juvenile hunt and let him walk. Ever since then she has regretted not taking him. We even nicknamed him "Allison's" deer. So.....we are sitting in a 2 person ladder stand that has a shooting rail among, I see this guy come out of a brush pile heading towards a clover plot. I tell her, there's a deer...she turns and looks and sees that it is the same deer and she said "I wanna shoot it". I get the gun up on the shooting rail and help her get settled and tell her to squeeze when she was ready....she said....he's moving.....I let out a grunt and he stops for a second then keeps going....I then let out a long grunt that kinda sounded like a dying cow.....the buck stops completely broadside. BOOM.....he hits the dirt, flops around some then gets up.....he goes about 30yds and nosedives. That was it, he was done.....I think I was shaking more than her.....I couldn't be more proud!

Proud for sure. She hit shoulder on entry and exit. Allison made a real good shot on him.

I took Allison for the youth hunt and we had the same buck walk through pretty close. Glad my wife got to experience being with one of our kids for their first deer.

Big congratulations to Allison and my wife too.
