Wife gets her FIRST deer!!!
Question:
Congratulations for many things, first to your wife on her first deer, for a great shot and to you for taking her. Also to your Dad for the great gun he built way back when. Get the kids out with you as soon as possible. It seems too many "sportsman and women" use it (hunting/fishing) as an excuse to leave the chikldren at home. Course the last is just my opinion!

Take her BIRD hunting! She’ll like it… My wife was well on her way toward a member of PETA when I met her and this year she killed her first deer while alone hunting! :-) She really liked watching those grouse puff up into a ball of feathers and loved watching them get away! Good luck! REM7600 > I am out of luck, my wife is a vet and cheers for the animals.

oh moderator, judicious moderator ….why won’t you post? My wife has an affinity to cold, below 70 degrees, she breaks out into a rash … have tried … did get her to go on a parent child hunt. While my son and I hunted she stayed in the warm camper.

Monday evening December 26, just before dark my wife shot her first deer, a nice Texas 8 point with a 15" inside spread. It was her first hunt except for the few times she accompanied me. She shot him as he fed out of a draw about 150-160 yds. away. She made a perfect shot with a 6.5×55mm my father built on a Peruvian ‘98 Mauser action some 35 years ago. The load was a 120 gr.

My wife was SO excited but not half as excited as I. She’s already trying to figure out who’s going to keep the kids so she can go hunting more. The only problem is that she now refers to the little 6.5 as "hers". Now she tells me she needs a new scope for "her" rifle. Oh well!! Small price to pay!!!
