A while back I posted some pictures of my little girl with a Dassie she shot as her first trophy using my grandfathers Winchester .22. Since then she got a new little rifle that fits her much better. The rifle is a little Pink Cricket in .22 As the hunting season is winding down I finally had the time today to take her hunting with it.     The excitement on her face when she shot her first animal with it was priceless. As things are progressing now you will probably see reports here in 15 years time of her guiding clients with a Pink Double .470 Nitro.

HI Johann, When I showed your previous post of your lovely daughter with her dassie to my kids (twin boys aged 5 and daughter aged 8 back then), they "forced" me to take them hunting as well. They all eventually "drew first blood" on a dassie and have urged me at every opportunity to take them again, this time for something bigger!  Ufortunately, in Tz one has to be 18 years or older in order to legally hunt.  "...Them, they were Giants!" J.A.

I just LOVE everything about the posting! Just love the kid-sized rifle! Can just think about the comments if I were to get a pienk stocked little rifle for one of my grandsons! Won't live that down easily! In good hunting. Andrew McLaren | |||

Good Stuff Johann!30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking. | |||

Great photos. I love the cricket rifle. Bought one for my daughter when she was 4. Guys at the gun store loved it when she came to pick it up. The danger of civilization, of course, is that you will piss away your life on nonsense | |||

Johann: I can't believe how much Zoë has grown! That's good shooting with the little Cricket. I am amazed you were able to fit a scope to it. Say hi to Vera and your folks for me. Bill Powell There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t. – John Green, author | |||

Hi Johann and Vera, Zoe's sure growing up to be a fine young lady and a great shot. Hard to believe it's been over three years since we hunted with you--time flies! Please give our regards to your folks for us. Cheers, George and Candy | |||

Head shot on a Ring dove! takes me back to my teen age days with an air rifle in India! Really great to see a youngster getting into hunting! "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||
