My granddaughter got her first deer today! Using a crossbow at 25 yards, while hunting with her other grandfather.

well done young lady.

Great. That's a very good start.
Please give some specs about the crossbow and the arrow(-point) used.

Thats cool, congratulations.

Outstanding effort young lady…well done. Did you stalk it or take it from a blind?

Hey Punkin…did you or her other grandad teach her how to dress the deer and prepare it for the freezer?

EXCELLENT !!!
Good job!

Critical Success for improving the numbers of future hunters to carry on our hunting sport. Congrats!

Aloysius, I'm getting the info on the crossbow, etc. They live about 1.5 hours from here, up in the mountains.

Vince, her other grandfather is a far more experienced hunter than I am and I know she's been helping him.

Here she is last year helping my other son-in-law and his father with the buck S-i-L shot while we were there. She is NOT afraid to get her hands dirty!

That’s great Punkin. As Slim said, success in improving the numbers of future hunters.

As an aside Punkin, how old is your granddaughter? She looks quite young (preteen) in the first pic, but looks older (early teens) in the second one. Whichever way, it’s fantastic that she is involved in the entire process, from go to whoa mate.

Thanks!

How many branches did he shoot?

Vince, she is 11.

Aloysius, I'll have to get with him and compare the branch counts!

Your granddaughter is doing fantastic mate. Out here, 11 is the youngest age, by law, a child can shoot.
