My youngest sister and my 14 year old niece, expressed interest in hunting this season. I applied them for elk and pronghorn, no luck. I applied them in the deer and sheep draw as well. They got hit for tags in one of my favorite areas for deer in AZ. The shooting practice began right away and often.
As the hunt neared they were more and more confident in their shooting abilities. The goal for their first bucks were anything but a spike.
Opening day started and we had bucks in the glass as soon as grey light broke. Those bucks got out of range pretty quick and it was on to the next ridge. The next ridge produced another buck right away. My sister was able to find it in the scope at 225yds. The shot was perfect, and the buck took one bound and dropped.

Next up was Justyce, she was really wanting a buck bad after watching her mom drop her deer. That same evening we were on deer quickly again. This time we had to work a little bit harder. We bumped some good bucks then her buck popped out on the ridge across from us. 330yd shot and the buck fell over like those yellow ducks in the shooting gallery.

It was a super cool experience for all of us. I'm pretty sure they are hooked.
