Well I talked her into finally trying to go hunting.
Gave her a .22 the day before to plink around with, and she did a really good job shooting that. Mind you this is the first gun she ever shot as well.
Get to the stand and got to watch a ton of playing around, a 4 pointer, 6 pointer in which she almost killed, but he was running the whole time and she couldnt get him in the scope when I stopped him.
We must have seen 8-10 does by the time this guy came through the woods infront of us, I knew he was a shooter when I seen him, but I didnt realize the pure size of him. He started rubbing on some trees and did a few paws at the ground giving her another good show for her first hunt. Deer was probably around 230-240lbs, very large and definately in rut from his huge neck.
He walked along a tree line in front of us that we couldnt see or shoot through. He finally appeared about 100 yards away, standing broadside it was a very nice first shot. She blew off the top of his heart with a spot on kill shot, deer ran 30 yards and crashed.
Weapon was a Ruger m77 .243 with hornady 100gr HPBT factory loads.
The other deer is my friends wife's deer, 10pt very nice deer. Also a .243 rifle used and that shot was 200+ yards.
