I've had some technical issues at work so haven't been able to post this until now so here ya go!

Janet has been going hunting with me since we started seriously dating. As mentioned before, she just loves it! Well, she's watched me shoot a couple of deer and after passing up many deer, it finally all came together January 10th.

We were sitting in a double-wide stand overlooking one of the food plots on our little 100 acre tract in Lowndes county. About 5pm, a couple of spikes came into the field but kept looking toward the wood line. Finally this buck stepped into the field and started feeding. He was pushing the others around and it was a cool thing to watch. Finally, it got to be time to make a decision and she said she was ready.

She eased her gun up and I told her to just relax and concentrate on the small area behind his shoulder. I was watching through binoculars and she squeezed off the shot! He immediately staggered to the ground but started running toward the woods. I could tell he was hit hard and knew he wouldn't go far. Sure enough a few seconds later, I heard him crash in the woods.

She looked over at me like "did that really just happen?!!" She was so pumped up! We got down and went to where he was standing but didn't find any blood. I found were he went into the woods and found her buck about 20 yards inside the wood line. I was so proud of her and she was just overwhelmed with emotion. It was a special day for her. He was a 5 point but that was a trophy to her!

The gun she used was left to her by her father when he passed away in 2013. And she wanted to use it to shoot her first deer. It's a Husqvarna 30-06. It was a very sentimental thing to her and we actually had a little moment of prayer after finding her buck. Just to thank our God for creating such a beautiful creature, thanking her dad for his generosity and knowing he was looking down and being proud of his little girl, and just having the opportunity to share that time together for a really special day for Janet. I wouldn't trade this day for anything!

Here are some pics. Sorry about the cell phone quality but y'all get the gist. I also put a little face paint on her over her slight objections but she was a good sport!

I am always amazed by what people with disabilities, like your wife with her missing eyesight, can do when they put their minds to it.

That is really cool that she got to use her dads rifle to kill her first deer.

Neither had I until she ended up with it. They ceased firearm production back in the 1960's but were a very reputable gun maker for many years. They are more known for their small engines now.

It's got a fine German mauser type bolt action that is very smooth. I thought it was a Rem. BDL when I first saw it so that's the closest gun I can compare it to. It's got a nice Monte Carlo stock and just a really cool gun. I load it with those Federal Fusion light recoil bullets and it's a tack driver.

Congrats to your wife!


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

Awesome!! So cool that Janet got to take her first deer sitting with you and using her dad's rifle to do so. Doesn't get much better than that!! BTW, you are turning into a pretty good guide beers


Take your kids hunting today....one day, they will be taking you.
