I would agree with Jack there. I have hunted where your hunting i belive and a well placed round from a .243 would bring down a roosvelt as well as a RM elk, there great on deer also. Also if you want to get her into the woods to get used to shooting at game , take her to greys harbor to hunt some hogs, I learned that they have a lot running wild and its open all year. Stop in a sporting good store and they will give you the info you need to find them. Good lick and Good hunting.
