I was a proud Dad today to be with my 14 y.o. daughter when she killed her 1st deer, a small one-horned spike. She took him with her SAKO 243 rifle @ 85 yds. Shot him in the neck, he went straight down. She turned and looked at me and asked " did I shoot him in the right place "? I said, yeah, I believe you shot him in the right place, you did good, Baby. :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:
 I was watching her when she squeezed the trigger. She didn't breathe hard, flinch, or shake in any way. Excitement didn't start until after the shot.
 Congrats, BabyDoll, here is your pic:

Good deal. Congrats to your daughter on her first deer!

Good memories that will last for the rest of both of your lives!

Fantastic picture and a great memory for you both… those are the moments that make this life worth living...

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living

When you are dead, you don't know you are dead.It is difficult only for others.

It is the same when you are stupid.

I got two Sons-in-laws that need to get ARMED and Indoctrinated.  My youngest daughter is more gunny than the older one...


One SIL is from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia and never had a firearm until I gave him a 357 a couple of years ago....now we need to get together and go shoot it!  Shocked

The other SIL grew up on a farm in Wisconsin but never shot a handgun....just 22s and a shotgun now and then....wasn't even a hunter like one of his brothers is.  Now they have a 357 that we have shot.  He likes shooting now!   Big Grin
