My daughter got her first buck this year. She drew out on a special youth hunt through the wildlife department. First afternoon we sat up on a pond and this small 7 pt came down for a drink.
Earlier that morning she took a pig, her first one of those as well. We were still hunting up a hill in the woods and a group of pigs came by at about 20 yards.
On Thanksgiving morning, we went hunting and she got a doe. Broadside shot right behind the shoulder.
Then 8 days later, she got her second buck. Same stand as the doe, again a broadside shot right behind the shoulder.
She spent a lot of mornings and evenings in the woods. We hunted for 30 minutes to an hour and a half at a time. I was very proud of her for sticking it out. We saw deer most hunts, but bucks were nonexistent for a while and does can only be harvested on certain days.
She was pretty excited and had a great year. I am having a European mount of the first buck and we will do something with the second also. Just thought I'd post up some of her pics.
