After joining me in the groundblind while I was bowhunting a couple times, my 17 year old daughter decided that she would like to try deer hunting with me this year. She was too old for the early youth season, so she had to wait until the regular gun seasons. (She shoots a bow really well in the NASP program at school, but she wasn't ready for bowhunting yet.) Our family all took the required Hunter's Safety course together just a couple months ago. She shot her first deer this evening from a quickly made ground blind of cedar branches. We sat on the hillside and watched deer and giggled for over an hour before a couple of does finally made their way across a creek to us. She made a great 60 yard double-lung shot with my TC Omega muzzleloader. What a fun afternoon!! All of her practice at the range paid off when it counted.

for some reason I can't get the pics to upload. Will try again tomorrow.
