My 11 year old daughter got to deer hunt with a tag and gun in hand this morning. She cashed in on her second opportunity - first deer got too close to the elevated box stand and she couldn't get him into the scope. I think this is the same buck, just showed up again. About 50 yds, 20 gauge rifled slug gun with loads she loaded herself with the Lyman "monster pellet" slugs made by CB member "Don 3" and 12 gr. of Unique. Her 9 y/o sister will be with me in the blind this afternoon and I hope to cash in on my tag with my TC Encore chambered in .260 Rem loaded with 44 gr. I4350 and 129 gr. Hornady Interlocks.

Very nice!

My son will be turning twelve in 11 days, and the next weekend we will be off on his first big game hunt, for a cow elk.

Can't wait!
