MKJHUNTS Report post Posted October 25, 2011 I recently had the opportunity I have been waiting for since my daughter was born, and that was experiencing her first hunt. To parents who haven't experienced the joy of watching there child harvest an animal and the excitment it brings you are truly missing out. I have been lucky enough to shoot a substantial amount of animals in my life, and i can honestly say that nothing can ever replace the moment of joy when she made that shot. We took this buck about 15 minutes before dark on Saturday the 22nd, after a frustrating period of her trying to get on a spike we had been watching and debating on most of the day (I am very glad that he wasn't cooperating). My dad found this buck just before dark and he was extremely cooperative, i had just purchased the triclawps clamp system from Santana Outdoors and was able to get Rylee set up just over 150 yards. The product is an amazing addition and worth its weight in gold, Rylee was able to get in a comfortable position without having to fight the weight of her gun. With my father watching, she made an amazing shot, breaking the shoulder just as we had talked about. Watching this buck flip over backwards and her amazing excitment is undescribeable, needless to say there were some tears shed and lots of screams and hugs. To top it off, we were directly accross the canyon from where i shot my first deer, 22 years ago. The second picture shows the other two kids sharing in the excitment once we got back to my dads. I want to thank my dad Keith Johnson and my first daughter for sharing this with me, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted October 29, 2011 Awesome first deer! Congrats to Rylee. I can't wait for my two kids to be old enough to do more than just tag along on hunting trips! Just noticed that rack looks a whole lot like my first whitetail that's hanging on the wall here...killed it 23 years ago with a 20 gauge slug in a TN cornfield.
