Daughter's hunt

Recommended Posts

My 12 year daughter killed her second deer today. After filling last year's tag in unit 12A, she wanted to hunt closer to home this year. She was excited to draw her first choice, youth, unit 33.

We spent the last three mornings on the road at 5 and looking for deer sun up. Our hunts were over before 10 each morning. Her hunt, when she says its time to get a thirstbuster and head home, I don't argue. again her tag. We saw deer each day. When we finally found one with antlers, she was able to close the distance to 200 yards and connect. When the 85 gr TSX from her .243 hit the deer, I heard the familiar "smack" and watched him do a donkey kick and disappear into a thicket of mesquite.

After firing, she turned and asked, "Did I hit it?.. Did I hit it, Dad?!"

She was all smiles when we located her deer.

On the way back, she stated, " You know the best part about getting my deer today?"

"What's that, Love?"

"I get to sleep in tomorrow!"

 

Sigh... A perfect day, punctuated with a reminder that my baby girl is almost a teenager!
