I’m a little long winded and this is multiple stories so I’ll attempt to be brief.
My wife has always been supportive of hunting but never had the desire to hunt herself. She has been in the blind many times and watched our kids kill many deer. We actually call her our good luck charm because often when she is with us one of the kids will kill something.
So to my surprise this weekend she told me she wanted to shoot a doe. Well you didn’t have to twist my arm to make that happen!!!
We happen to have a couple of friends come visit and all 4 of us squeezed in a box blind. The blind I chose has 2 feeders and we were hoping the doe would be at the closer of the two but that didn’t happen.
The doe started coming out early because it was cold and drizzle so we took our time and made sure we found a big doe because her one thing was she didn’t want to accidentally shoot a yearling.
The shot was around 230 yards and my gun is sighted in dead on at 200 so I knew that wouldn’t be an issue. She took her time aiming and fired one shot. In the iPhone video I could not tell where she hit her but I could tell she was hit.
When we made our way down to track her my wife obviously had been paying attention the times she had been with me tracking the kids deer because she took off tracking that deer like a pro.
Luckily she didn’t have to go far because she actually shot that doe in the heart!
To say I’m proud is an understatement!
2nd story will be on next post. Stay tuned I’ll hurry
