This past week just before deer season opens one of my daughters says she would like to go hunting. She is 14 and has her hunters ed card and can shoot reasonably well. Problem is I have been working 10+ hour days and weekends and can hardly get around everything I need to get going. Don't have to worry about hunting license or deer tags as we can hunt the family farm as a lease.
She slipped out to the woods real quick this evening and took this pic.
She was about 40 feet away when she caught this 8 point whitetail. Tomorrow deer gun season opens, hopefully this pretty boy will still be around next weekend or over Thanksgiving when I will finally have some time off. I don't plan on hunting, but would be thrilled if she were able to take a nice deer for her first time out. She sat in a blind with me about 5 years ago and we watched a few deer, but nothing that I could get a reasonable shot at.
