My Daughter got her buck!

[swheeler]

My youngest daughter got her buck at 8 am on the 28th of November, one day left in the season. She shot a 4x4 mulie with 270 with handloads of H4831 and 150 Speer. Not a cast bullet kill, so if needs moving a moderator can move it.

Way to go!

[Hamish]

As white eagle said, its pretty great to see young ladies hunting and enjoying it. What a wonderful smile!

[swheeler]

Yes all the girls started hunting and shooting really young. This daughter Samantha Colte-Sam Colt, is after me all the time to shoot, hunt and fish. She has taken an interest in handloading and casting now, makes me feel good! Her daughter, 3 years old is just wild about it but we couldn't take her out to walk in the cold, but she made bird opener with us, loved it!

[ChristopherO]

That's wonderful for your daughter and you, swheeler.
Our opener was this morning. I went out but the fire wasn't there. BUT, my daughter asked that I take her out this week so early Thursday morning I believe my excitement level will spring me out of bed well before the alarm goes off! It has been since she was 17 that I had the pleasure of her company and that morning she bagged one big buck with me coaching over her shoulder. School, work, marriage and more school has made her one busy gal but for this one morning I really am looking forward to sitting a spell with her in the woods.
Again, congratulations for your daughter and you. It does a Dad proud.

Here is what we were really after, they made it down to posted property so we filled our deer tags.

Wow! She's beautiful, and the bucks not bad either :) Well done.

[Huntsman]

Absolutely precious pic of your daughter and granddaughter. Good to see they are sharing your interests.

Thanks for all the kind remarks! Yes I'm a very proud father and grandfather:bigsmyl2:

swheeler, I don't think a moderator is going to move a picture of a pretty woman with a gun and posing with a deer that she shot!

Congratulations to you and your daughter on her shooting and hunting. Are we seeing another cast bullet reloader here with your daughter?

[swheeler]

HABCAN: yes you sent it our way:bigsmyl2: 40 deg Monday and -3 Friday morning when we left to hunt!
Doc: that's the plan:wink: She has already cast a thousand 452-228-r, getting her feet under her!

The newest addition, grandson will turn 8 moths in about 2 weeks. Couple more years we'll be shooting and fishing.

Scot,

Bjorn, you can tell I'm a proud dad and grandpa! For now I'll have to settle for one out of four, "life" has gotten in the way for the other three daughters, they'll figure it out:bigsmyl2: I think this one was named right!!! Monday when it was a heat wave in the morning, 25*F, we started in in the dark, a little over 2 hours later we were sitting in a saddle where they run through quite often, never a complaint, just "Dad it's so pretty up here, when are the elk coming"

Hey I'm stickin' around until she get an elk! Hope until the grand kids each get one:bigsmyl2:

[Cornbread]

Are you guys going to do the shoulder hunts this winter to try and get her a cow elk?

[swheeler]

That is what we have already talked about, just have to get the details worked out so we both can go.

[UBER7MM]

"....270 with handloads of H4831 and 150 Speer....."

Can't go too wrong with that combo!

Good hunting,

[Cornbread]

Cool. I have been thinking about trying to get over for a week for those hunts but I'm not sure if I will be able to swing it with ice fishing season already upon us.

[Win94ae]

Wonderful!
