I thought I would get the ball rolling thanks to Nutcase. Here is my Daughters first deer. This was on her first day of her first deer hunt.


This next picture was of her first elk. she got it on the first day of her first elk hunt.


Teaching kids to hunt and watching them get their fist animals is a amazing feeling. Ron

My daughter just got done killing her 13th whitetail she also shot her first blk bear this year. She would love to shoot a elk. She says a dream hunt would be for moose. She was shaking so bad after her first deer you could see her whole body moving. Yes it is very good to see your kids hunt.

My 12 year olds first deer
He got it Nov 9th of this year In Kentucky

Ron,
You have lovely daughter and she has a very good Dad. All the best to the both of you. Happy Thanksgiving. Dan

Gee, Ron, you sure set the bar high enough....

Congratulations to your daughter!

Here's my son with his first big game kill. In Zimbabwe this past June. To bad we waited until he was 21 to start.

Ron:

Great pics! One thing I've learned from other guys who have daughters that hunt: You have to be ready to beat the boys off with a stick! Good Luck!

how old is your daughter?

My 11 year old took his first game this fall. A trophy size fox squirrel with a .22. He couldn't have been prouder had it been a B&C buck. It's great bringing our kids into the sport we all love. I feel sorry for those who miss out on that opportunity.

Nutcase, Tell you son WAY TO GO!
rick3foxes, She drew once in a lifetime hunts on her first two trys. LUCK I guess? That is a fine looking Impalla.
black-powder-big-bore, Kasi was 12 with her deer and 13 with her elk, she is 14 now.
Skibum, My son got his first ground squirrel this year with his air rifle. I love to take all my kids hunting.
I would like to see more kids hunting. I thinkit is better for them than video games.
Ron

....just kidding....im like 20 id be in jail with bubba and his friends we call that jail bait around here

I have told her she can't date untill she finds a boy with a rich father that ownes thousands of acres of land for us to hunt on. The boy also has to have a bigger deer and elk than she does!

Ron

Now there has to be more at this site with children that hunt. Keep the pics coming all. This is the future.

Great pics all!

Looks like my son Cody is out of the running for Kasi for now at least, although I think he's got her on sheer volume ;-). 2001 was his first season, & he's now filled all his tags both years. Well, except bear & turkey. Elk, deer, & antelope, though.
I'll have to show him her elk & deer. Give him a complex.... Nah, he's a pretty secure kid. Somehow got the recessive gene for height & personality both. Looking at these pictures, Criminy, I can't believe how much he's grown in the last year. He's now slightly taller than me.
Anyway, he got the speed goat his first day out after big game. Shot the elk about an hour into his first day of elk hunting (rifle hunting, anyway). The deer took a bit longer. In some ways, the pheasant is the coolest. That was on a deer hunt to eastern MT, & we'd pretty much come up short. Tried for pheasants as a last-ditch attempt to bring something home. Beat a bunch of brush, and in the last possible draw he flushed this rooster & neatly dropped him with our old '97 Winchester that his Grandpa and Great-Gramps put lots of birds on the table with. It was as good as it gets....

alright ron you gotta deal i already got a huge deer and elk now all i gotta do is wait 4 years

remember 18 and its open season

Rimrock, Tell cody way to go. By the way what kind of rifle does he use? Ron

Cody uses a Husqvarna 30-06, and that is one sweet little rifle. Was shopping for a M70 Featherweight for him, but came across the Husky instead at a much better price. Very comparable in handling characteristics. Put a 2.5 X 8 Leupold on it. He's shooting 165 gr Hornadies in it, and the terminal performance this year was just outstanding.
If/When I draw a goat or sheep tag, I'm borrowing that gun.
