Daughter got her 1st deer!

My 12 year old got her 1st deer and I am a proud dad. We hunted hard and covered a lot of ground. Yesterday we bedded a big doe and her fawn and waited at 120 yards (after a LONG stalk) for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours for her to stand. Finally did but she busted us. She ran to 190 and stopped but Alyssa shot about 4 inches too high and missed. We have only practiced out to 100 yds so far. Anyways today she had to pass on a nice 3 X 3 because we hunt in a 3 point minimum area and couldnt tell if it was actually sporting 3 on a side until it was too late. So we set up in a good spot and finally this little dandy showed up. 25 yds, perfect shot, heart / lung. Now it's time for some jerky.

P.S. in our unit 16 and under can shoot any anterless or a 3 pt. min. buck. This is a button buck but is considered antlerless. Just thought I'd throw that in because she had passed on the other buck.

Looks great. So far my daughter hasn't had an interest in hunting and got upset when I shot at a coyote in my backyard. my grandfather lives up on MT spokane. I cant believe how many deer and turkey I see on his property. I also love that White Elephant store.
