Well, she did it again!! For the fourth time since she was 11 years old, my daughter killed a deer with one shot. No muss, no fuss. First year, a doe, second, the same, third year, a spike; all with my little '98 Mauser .308 Scout Rifle with a home-cast 172 gr hollow point loaded down to 1880 fps so it wouldn't hurt her.

Then this year I took her to a friends place in West Texas and she whacked this 18 1/2" 8 point!! She used my boyhood treasure, a Ruger M77 Flatbolt chambered in 6mm Rem. wearing an old, reliable 4x Redfield. She hit the buck right at 125 yds. behind the left shoulder as he quartered slightly away. The handloaded 100 gr. Hornady pre-Interlock at 3010 fps passed through the buck and exited the right shoulder leaving a quarter-size hole through the lungs. (Who the heck needs a magnum?)He bucked, took one step, and dropped. To say I'm proud of her is a gross understatement. Neat thing was that we stayed on and just watched deer for another day and she loved every minute of it.

Outstanding!

Congratulations to both of you on a beautiful buck, a beautiful daughter and some beautiful time spent together.

Heck, give her that 6mm and a fresh box of cartridges and (at this rate) she'll not need more ammo until she's 34!

May you both cherish the time you spend afield together.
