Took her out Sat. on her first real trip. It was very hard on her but she was a real trooper through it all. I hope she understood what she was seeing. After a while she would point out her own finds.

We were in the woods for 3.5 hours covering several hundred acres. Mountain biked in, but the ride out was more than she could take so we walked them out the last mile and a half.

The weather was less than perfect, cold and rain/snow mix. In spite of it all, the next day she told me she would never forget it. She may never but I think it will pale in comparision to the ones, Lord willing, she has to come.

Took her to the spots I'd hunted the year before and mentioned that I never did find a shaft that brought down a nice deer. She found it. Big smiles then.

Capped the trip off with dinner at an old time resturant. We ate well, deserving and needing every bite.
