okiedog Posted November 28, 2006 Report Share Posted November 28, 2006 When my wife and I got together she wanted to bowhunt. So I bought her a bow and come that deer season she went several times with no luck. The following year, our son was born, and she sat out for a couple of years without going. This summer I built a box blind, so if my family wanted to go they could. I asked my wife last week if she want to go hunting and she said sure. So off we go early Thanksgiving morning to blind. I had everything already set up. I had a sleeping bag and toys for our 2 year old son thinking this might keep him happy and quite. As we got into the stand I turned off the flashlight and my son came unglued. I thought there is no way we will see anything, but grabed a light stick out of my bag that he was happy to see and play with. At day break my son had just fell asleep when a little 8 pt came walking into the field. We watched the deer for 5 mins or so, and she decided that was the one she wanted. As she steadied the gun preparing to take the shot, I was ready to pick up our son because I knew the noise would wake him up. The 30-30 went off, the deer droped and our son never moved or woke up. It was an awesome experience and a day I will never forget. This was her first deer and our sons first hunt. Sorry for the long post. Thought I would share the story.

okiedog Posted November 29, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2006 Re: Wife takes her 1st deer! (pics) Well like I said before, I was very proud of my wife. I left out the part of her field dressing and skinning the deer. I just handed her the knife and coached her along. She did the whole process. I told her, if she pulls the trigger, the rest comes with it. She didn't mind at all. I think I got a winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
