My daughter Emma (13 yo) shot her first deer a few days ago. We could not get the stars to align last year, and had some close calls before this one.....but she made this one count. She used my lever 30-30 and made a great 75 yard shot (both lungs). Doe was 150 lbs live weight and 120 lbs dressed-out. I was right there! Another hunt I will never forget!

I have made it a point to expose all my kids (4 in all) to the outdoors. Some take to hunting while others prefer to fish or just take a walk and take pictures.....that's fine with me. I just open the door, what they do with it is up to them.

I like it in the woods. 30/30 isn't too much, but gets the job done and is nice and short in the stand. I will be getting something a little different for hunting our fields maybe next year (leaning 308) but Emma shoots the 30/30 just fine.
