Great deer hunt

lacie23 · November 22, 2010, 05:15:52 PM

Daddy took me deer hunting today. It was pretty cold and windy and we weren't seeing any deer. Then Daddy said, "There's a deer " !! A buck was coming toward us and he told me to wait for a good shot . I could see he only had horns on one side but he said " shoot him anyway " ! He came up close to us and when I shot he dropped straight down and rolled over !!

Daddy said he was pretty old because his teeth were worn down. We were both really excited. Too bad one main beam was broken but I am still happy with him.

Even with just one beam it's still a nice buck. Heck, bigger than most of the ones I've taken.

Good job kid.

Lacie,

That is a very nice buck and I am sure that you are proud of it. I am also sure that your Dad is proud of you. Speaking of Dad, did he get a deer yet?

edit: What state do you live in that you think it is cold and yet are wearing a short sleeved shirt?

Congratulations Lacie!! That's a dandy buck for sure!!

Thanks everyone !!!!. We live in West Virginia and it was cold at daylight, we were in our stand before daylight. I got my deer at 9:00 then we waited to see if daddy could get one but the only other buck we saw was on the neighbor's land and we didn't have permission. Daddy said he didn't care because he was so happy that I got one . By the time we took the picture it had warmed up in the 60's . We quit hunting early so we could skin it and get it cooled.

So now you are experienced at butchering too! When it comes to our daughters, Dads are always happiest when our daughters spend time with us.

I'm with these guys in saying, the antlers dont eat well anyway. Nice job girl!

Your Dad didnt get one yet? Maybe you could take him with you and give him some pointers

By the way I see ya cutting the back straps out that boy, who taught ya to do that?

FOsteology · November 22, 2010, 08:22:24 PM

He got into a serious fight breaking off his left side! Very nice, congrats!

Thanks for the nice comments everyone !!! My Daddy taught me how to skin. He said my Granddaddy taught him. He says my Granddaddy would have loved me, but he got killed in a car wreck before I was born.
