Didn’t get shook up till I saw his rack. Shooting house we were in only had one chair and kind of small. I was sitting on the floor and me feet were going to sleep. Told her I needed to stand up for a minute. As I was getting up, I could see him standing in the field but couldn’t see his head. She had passed a smaller doe early and I could just see a big dark body. Told her she would shoot this one. She asked if it was a buck and I said I think so. Was getting the gun out the window when she first saw his antlers and I couldn’t see them still. She said “He’s huge!” A few more steps and I was like OH CRAP HE IS!!! Got her on the gun but she couldn’t find him in the scope. I reached over and turned it down from 6 to 4x. She finally found him and he was walking almost straight towards us. Asked if she was on him. She said yeah. He turned ever so slightly and stopped. Told her to put it just under his neck and squeeze. BANG!! He stumbled and ran maybe 5 yards and hit the ground. Tarsals already turning dark and he been rubbing trees pretty good.
So proud of her! What an amazing day God blessed me with to spend with my beautiful daughter
Season is a success already. Now my son, who turned 16 in September and aged out of youth hunt, is after a 6 point he has seen two years in a row
Great job , congratulations
