Title: Wife's 1st deer...I'm so proud of her!
Post by: TLANE on September 30, 2012, 07:48:00 PM
I'm so proud of Karen!  When we met she had never hunted and she started shooting with me.  Eventually she decided to give hunting a try and loved it!  Although last year she had a lot of learning experiences she didn't give up, she just kept on trying.  She knew that we could go get her a compound but she wouldn't hear of it!

Yesterday morning was opening day.  Around 9:15 this 1 1/2 year old doe came in on pins & needles.  She knew something wasn't right.  Our stands were only about 40 yds apart and I saw Karen start to draw but the doe took a step and turned so she eased off.  About 5 minutes later she gave her another opportunity and Karen put her arrow right where it needed to go!  I don't know how she held it together, I was a nervous wreck!

She is hooked now for sure.  Thanks Ben for the little Thunderstick Mag you sold us.  She got more than enough penetration!

Tell her a big congrats.

What part of Southern WV you in bro?  Where we were at we never saw the sun until about 5:30 PM.  Rained about all day and stayed fogged in.  Heck, it is raining today.  Got to go back to work tomorrow.  God Bless
