Congratulations to her!
Sounds like she's going to be a great hunting partner.
She did field dress the deer didn't she?

Well congratulations to your daughter. I like to see young people excited about the sport. I gives me hope that this tradition will carry on. All too often young people want to sit in the house and do nothing.

Way to go there young lady. Now shoot one bigger then Dad next year!!
