Just had to tell someone. My 16 year old daughter killed her first deer today. Shot a cow horn spike at 85-90 yards, just behind shoulder, exited threww the ribs on the far side. Deer ran maybe 30 yards. Shot it with her Savage 243.

Excellent! Any pictures to go along with this great story?

Congrats!

Several pics, just cant figure out how to post them. LOL

Excellent. Congratulations to her and you.

Thanks you guys. This morning she killed a 5 pointer from the same blind,about 79 yds, one shot in the boiler room with her 243, deer went maybe 20 yds. Half hour later had a nice 7 walk in on us, but passed due to a sky line shot. Maybe we can get another chance at him tomorrow. Kids got a lot more luck than I ever have!

Sounds great! I can't wait to find out if my daughter will hunt or not. She is eight right now and says she wants to hunt. She has a few years to go until she can hunt anyting in Colorado bigger than small game.

Man, I got a bigger thrill from seeing the look on that kids face than as if I shot a Booner buck or somehing! She bgaggin to all her friends on facebook. Tickles me shes so excited about it. Dont force your girl into it, but if she wants to go, youll have twice as much fun as hunting by yourself. Im just wondering whats gonna happen tomorrow?!?!?

Congrats to you and your daughter!!! I get a big thrill out of seeing someone kill their first deer.
