8yr-old Daughter's First Deer

[muzzy100]

LAST EDITED ON Oct-01-09 AT 10:28AM (MST)[p]My 8yr-old daughter was successful yesterday and harvested her first deer. This was her first year hunting and she made me proud. I will never forget her reaction after the shot as the deer fell right where he stood. She yelled "I GOT HIM, DAD!" I don't know who was more excited. I am one proud father!

Thanks guys. I let her read your comments and it made her smile. This was a youth hunt here in NM, Unit 24. NM actually has a number of youth hunts. As far as age limit, there is not one for NM. So long as a youth can successfully pass a hunter safety class they are eligible to hunt. My daughter acutally took the test in January when she was one month shy of turning 8 yrs-old. She asked us several times to let her take Hunter Safety class when she found out my 13 yr-old nephew was going to take it. I wasn't sure whether to let her, but we decided to let her try.

Congrats to you and a HUGE CONGRATS to your little one. I LOVE IT! Thats a beautiful buck , way to get it done. My little on is 11 and will be going in 2010 . What H&R is that and what caliber? Thats pretty much the rifle we are looking at , figured maybe a .243 , just not sure if it will have a little too much recoil....Again congrats to you both and thanks for sharing it....Larry

 

[ELKMAN]

Wow!

We have an 11 year old shooting an ibex, and now an 8 year old shooting a deer!

I have never procreated, but I must win! I will produce a 6 year old, that will draw youth hunts!

You have already won. You win for the strangest posts on MM. Congrats!!!

Congrats to her for taking her first deer.

 

[stevie]

Fantastic. How did you find a rifle that wasnt' too big for her to handle? NOt so much recoil because a 243 or similar caliber should work. But I find that most rifles are too big for an 8 yr old to hold.

Have you never heard of "levity"! haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

 

[NMPaul]

Guess I am slow. If its levity, I hope you have a bunch of kids and get them all into hunting.

I think its great to see that little girl with that huge bull. I bet she is still walking on clouds.

[rugarm77]

I say great job to the young hunter. Muzzy one risk you take when posting pictures and telling a story is someone has to ruin it. Why can't peolple just say congrats and move on without the negative BS. Seems she took the proper steps leading up to the hunt,,, ie hunters education. Sure she practiced shooting right? So whats the problem? I know of several hunters that have harvested animals this year but refuse to show them and the story because of the BS. good luck in the future and keep up the good work dad.
