Daughter's ND Youth Rifle Deer

Nice deer. What distance and what bullet? Memories will last a lifetime. Proud for her and dad!
 
Thank you! The range was 192 yards and the bullet used was a 123 Hornady SST.

The first shot she hit it high in the lungs and broke part of the spine so when the deer dropped it was laying on its side facing us.

I had her fire another one through the white patch its chest as the deer was still moving some and really was the only shot since the deer was facing us laying on its side. That shot exited out the flank which caused a little mess for field dressing but that is how it goes some times.

I was surprised she was able to put it through the chest like she did not much there to shoot at.

We have shot targets a lot farther but this is the longest shot she has ever made on an animal to date. I am very proud of her.
 
What a great looking, happy family:). Doesn't get much better than this. Congrats to your daughter for some fine shooting. Some great memories for sure.:D:D

Thank you! It was a fun hunt for sure and I have more fun watching my two daughters on their hunts than I do on my own hunts.
