[QUOTE="makeithappen, post: 3656310, member: 24464"] Congrats, bowhunter! Great buck! Work has been hell lately working 22 hours Friday into Saturday morning, coaching a football game then another 8 hours Saturday evening. My daughter decided she wanted to shoot a deer this year and 2/3 of youth weekend was gone. We got a late start this morning and decided to just take a walk. Saw a fawn but didn't have a shot. Grabbed lunch and decided to go back in the afternoon. About 6:05, 2 yearlings came trotting in at 80 yards. I told my daughter to wait for the doe that was surely behind them. Not 30 seconds later, here she came. There was a welded wire fence between us and the deer, so my daughter didn't feel she could aim for the heart. After a bit of coaching and inwardly enjoying watching her get the fever, she touched off a shot. The window where the deer were was small, so the doe disappeared quickly from view. We went to where she stood and no blood. I followed one trail 30 years with zero sign. We returned to the shot location and followed another trail. After 40 yards, 2 specks of blood. I'm not feeling confident at this point. We slowly followed the trail 100 yards and found the doe dead. It was such a great feeling for myself as a father. She was pretty ecstatic until i told her she had to hold the deer for a photo lol. It was a long night for me, but I'd do it all over again. [ATTACH type="full"]228798[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
