Very awesome! Congrats to your daughter!
I got a ways to go, my daughter is only 6 wks old.
Looking forward to our 'father daughter' time. [AR15]
Wow, that's awesome! How old is she?
I should try hunting at least once before I croak.
Very cool. I hope to get my daughter out there in the next couple of years.
Indeed! Father daughter time is the best! Mine still has quite a ways to go too but we manage to have fun in the mean time! Thanks for the sharin the pic and congratulations again to your daughter!Quote:

I have talked to the 7 yr old about hunting and she doesnt want to kill anything but maybe when she's alittle older.
15? Looks much younger....must be the hat, clothes and position. My 15 y.o. grandson says he'd like to go hunting, and I probably would too, but I don't have a clue how to go about it or where to go, other than paying huge bucks for a guided hunt.Quote:

Yes they are! My daughter and I did a lot of hiking with guns for about 5 years before she lost interest due to lack of animals (CA). She's talking about going out again so we'll see. Way to encourage and involve her.
No issue at all killing the animal; they were always super excited about animals, I think partially because they loved the meat. Her younger sister wants to shoot one also but doesn't want anything to do with cutting it up.Quote:

Took mine to BluCore last week for her first pistol shooting. Still working on basics and not ducking to avoid getting hit by the casings. Im just excited she is willing to go.

If you want a good hunt for a youth check out Nebraska. They have deer tags for $6.00 for youths. You get 1 buck and 1 doe for the $6.00 and you can buy 2 sets. Thats 2 buck's and 2 doe's for $12.00. They also have turkey tags for $6.00 for youths also. There is alot of CRP land to hunt. I took my 2 sons and my daughter last year and almost any farmer will let you hunt on their land if its for the kids.
12 bucks you can't beat that with a stick!
That's awesome. I also thought WOW a 10 year old girl with first elk. Still awesome at 15. Shit I'm twice that old and not killed one yet...and not from lack of trying.
congrats that is cool
