Congrats to the new huntress. Congrats to you for helping her on this journey. I am sure there will be a lot more chance for the two of you to hunt together.
I am looking forward to taking my grand-daughter once she gets old enough.

A wonderful story. And a little girl with a little pink rifle is about as cute as it gets. She's lucky to have you in her life.

Ain't it COOL!!!!!
This year Eldest (daughter) outhunted me: a doe came out of a plum thicket she had just walked out ..... after we had walked the 1/4 mile back to the car .... the doe walked out into the middle of a stubble field on the next hill and laid down on the back side of a terrace. Eldest declared, "I'm going to go shoot that deer!" I told her she'd be wasting her time, as the deer would see her coming 1/4 mile away and skedaddle before she got in range (she's using a 30/30)...... "I sure won't get it if I don't try!" ..... so she goes for a walk .... 1/4 mile south ..... near 1/2 mile east, and then back north, coming up into the wind and up hill ..... got within 200 yards before the deer saw her, and closed the range to less than 150 before the deer stood up and she shot her ...... the deer took off running, stopped and she shot her again, and deer turned a circle, and ran a bit and stopped, and she shot her again ..... and the deer went down .... two hits through the chest, and one through the back leg above the hock..... I watched the whole thing from the car trough binoculars..... and she has now pronounced me "old" and never lets a chance go by to remind me that "If you don't try, you won't ever accomplish anything!" Life is Good. |

Well done article. Refreshing to read and pleasing to the heart.
Looks like you have acquired a hunting partner taylorce1. (Well at least until she finds (boys) more interesting.) Honor Role student also. That alone would tickle any father & mother. Now you'll have to keep us updated on your adventures together. Thank you, for sharing. _ S/S Last edited by Sure Shot Mc Gee; November 23, 2012 at 04:57 PM. Reason: speling |

that makes me smile. I am glad that hunting is being passed down to future generations. I wish I could pass it on, unfortunately my only child went liberal on me and now believes its a sin to kill animals (yes he is a vegetarian)

Unfortunately she would rather hang with the boys already, I just thank God she hasn't noticed them yet. However when she does all I can say is poor boyfriend! She likes the fact that they play harder and without dolls, as she wants to play sports, and talk about trucks with big tires, and out shoot everyone. She doesn't like or get involved with the "girlie" drama as she calls it at school.

Absolutely one of the best reads I have seen on this forum
congrats man, you done good and she did great. I love seeing young folks having success in the field, and as the father of two young boys I hope to see even more of it in the near future. I never had a mentor like that so maybe it's me filling a void, but it sure feels good when they connect! |

Congradulations to the young Huntress on a job well done on all accounts.
She kept up her end of the bargain, that says a lot for her character and her up bringing. She completed a successful hunt, again this says a lot about this young lady and the influence she's had. taylorce1 my hats off to you, Greybird and Snellstrom for helping this young lady to be successful in her endeavors and teaching her good values in life. Thanks for the pictures, they brought back memories of my daughter when she was that age. As for her hanging with the boys, my daughter was the same way at that age. However things change as they get older, that's when your gray hair will really kick in. Best Regards Bob Hunter www.huntercustoms.com |

Huge congratulations to the young lady. LOVE that smile.
And YOU get to put a "Daddy stamp" on your Man Card. There IS NO higher endorsement!

Your a lucky man dude. My daughter had to work the entire season this year, which I can understand but this is the first year in five she wasnt setting beside me in a pasture in North Missouri.
I like you hot her started with one little rifle, now she owns two .243's, a 2506, and her .270, and shes a good shot. I cherish every minute we spend on the hunt and at the range. CONGRATS DUDE !!!
