I agree with the consensus on this. Even though its legal, what if she wounds a deer and it gets away? This could dampen her enthusiasm for the sport.

If recoil is a problem, let her practice with a .22 and then let her hunt with a bigger caliber, .243 or something equivelent. This will keep her from developing an aversion to the bigger rifle. I know that when the old adrenaline kicks in you could shoot a howitzer and not feel the recoil!
