When I met my wife, she had never shot a gun, or even thought about hunting. Now she has three guns, and has taken 3 wild hogs, 3 axis deer, 2 springbok antelope and now her second whitetail buck. She can't decide if she loves hunting or fishing more, but either way, she is more exited for deer season to start then I am!!!!
We've seen 4 bucks and 6 does on our game camera, but they where all totally nocturnal. Then the biggest of the bucks showed up later in the morning after we had already left the blind without seeing anything, so yesterday morning, we said we would stay in the blind a lot longer. Fortunately, he showed up earlier at 7 am. At 130 yards, she made a perfect shot. Every one of her kills has been with one shot. She waits for the perfect opportunity, and for her breathing to slow down. She won't shoot until she is 100% confident in the shot. Her rifle is a Remington 700 youth model in 7mm-08
She is very excited about this buck and wants it mounted, so after dropping the meat off at the butcher, we took the cape to the taxidermist. Hopefully he will be on the wall this Spring.
