Good job dad! My baby girl killed her first last year. Two really great memories when my kids got their first. She and I still talk about it. Hope we’re talking about it to her kids down the road.

We picked up her meat yesterday… that’s when the reality sets in that you/they’ve provided something real and tangible together.

I can remember the smell of the rifle fire when I killed my first deer at 8 years of age. I’m 40 now. Some things last with us forever.

Such an awesome story Tune. Congrats to you and your baby girl. My son is 16 and shot his first at 10yrs old with me in the stand with him. Perfect double-lung from 124yds on a beautiful symmetrical 8pt. Better than any buck I've ever killed...lol. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Ha, exact same here. 40 and killed my first deer at 8. My mom and I both killed our first deer sitting in the same spot 24 years in between. My oldest is 5, he's going with me but just brings his bb gun to mess around with. Might see if he's ready for my old .243 next year

Congrats to you and your daughter

Great story and experience. Got my first on New Year's Eve in 1969. A six point in front of the dogs with a Browning Sweet 16 with #1 buckshot. My second hunt. About 7 miles south of Krotz Springs. Ruined me for life.

That is awesome. I cannot wait to do the same with my little girl. Hopefully with the same 243 that I killed my first deer with.
