hunter01 Report post Posted February 15, 2012 Hunter graduated from a Game and Fish Hunter safety school earlier in the year , allowing her to hunt Big Game. She was so excited to have the opportunity to hunt and hopefully fill her first tag at the same age as her daddy did, 10 years old. This was the late Jr's Hunt (11-21-2011) in unit 33. She filled her tag on the fourth day of her hunt. We hunted, hiked and glassed a lot, passing on several smaller class bucks on the first few days. After a lot of practice earlier in the year, shooting almost 200 rounds of ammo at different yardages, She (we) were good with her taking a 400+ yard shot at a live animal. She had never shot at anything larger than a rabbit prior to this hunt. She shot her specially built gun, a Remington Model 7, .223 from 416 yards with a with a ballistic reticle. After taking one shot, placing a single spinal shot to the deer, her very first deer hunt was completed. Her new lucky numbers are now 33, 416, 11, 21, 2011, Shocker!
