I know alot of yall dont know me but have been on this site for a couple of years. I dont post alot but really wanted to share this. My 15 year old daughter killed her first deer Thanksgiving weekend in Blackwater. I had put up a 2 man latter stand on Friday and her and my son rode around all day. Sat. we get up and head that way, boy she is excited. Two years ago she missed her first deer and last year we couldnt do anything to put her on one. All the while my son killed his first doe and missed a spike. Anyway, we get in the stand and at about 7 a cowhorn comes walking our way. She gets ready and he is going between trees. Finaly he gives her a shot and swing and a miss. He gets out of there like his but is on fire. I lok at her and she just has that look like I`m never going to hit one. We talk about it a little while and I tell her how many I have missed and wow its alot(lol). So we sit until about 9 seeing 7 does and yearls. Get down and grab lunch and go back to the stand about 230. At 3 a 5 point is walking at a little over 200yds and she wont take the shot says it is to far and she dont think she can hit it. I tried several times before she says you shoot it. Well I try again and she says please I dont want to shoot it that far. Well I was able to kill him and told we would stay until dark. Well about 30 mins. before dark a pack of dogs are coming our way and I tell her to get ready. Out pops another cowhorn running wide open. I satnd and yell and scream and he stops but right behind a tree, then turns and runs away from us. I tell her to shoot him in the but that I have seen plenty killed that way and wham she shoots. He buckle real bad and I know she hit him good. The dogs stay on him and bay him up.The owers of the dogs come looking and I yell to tell them the story and wow the reaction I got. They took off running to get the deer for us. We had to really run to keep up with them. We found him and they were high fiving her and telling her great job, then looked at me and said lets get this out of here, and proceeding in helping drag it out. Wow what a bunch of great guys. They did noy know either of us but by the time we got to the truck we had made some new very good frieds.
