Congrats, My wife's first was with a 94 in 30-30. I have always wanted a 788, they are very nice shooters. Your load sounds pretty close to ours. If your wife is like mine this is just the start. No more sleeping in on cold mornings.

Excellent for you, and for her! Those are good memories to share. Makes good times brighter and the hard times bearable. Wish my wife would have kept hunting, we had such fun together for those years she was involved. Grew apart, me trying to keep the bills paid and tied up with interests, she being lured away by high school flirtations from days gone by and ended a good thing we had. Make it great for as long as you two are breathing. Much to be said for having fun together. So glad for your success.

Kudo's to you.

My wife first was a six point with a bow. Her second was a spike with her 45 LC BH, when we lived in Michigan. Cast bullet of course. Yes, she harvested a handgun deer before me. I rather have her helping me track deer than anyone else.

Hunting together is one of life's Joy's. My wife used to hunt with me for frogs, deer and rabbits. She also fished with me. Yes she baited he own hook. Then kids happened. I lost my best friend December 30, 2020. Enjoy time together.

congratulations to her! Only problem with a wife that hunts is some mornings that you are able to go and she can't.....:smile:

Or as a friend of mine has found out. He gets up early to bow hunt before work. Walks into the kitchen only to find his wife in camo with bow in hand and saying to him it's my turn. You need to get the school.

Or the mornings you just want to sleep in and she’s ready and waiting for you.

Congratulations! Wish my wife would hunt but she hates cold weather too much to even think about it. I am envious of that 788 in 30-30. I have a Savage 340 in 30-30 so I have the "advantages" of a bolt action 30-30 but sure wish it was a 788 instead.
