Father / daughter day - pair 'o nines!

[Steuben Jerry]

So Sunday turned out to be a pretty special Daddy /daughter day. My youngest daughter started hunting with us a few years ago, getting her first buck last year on opening day. This year she sat in the same stand, and at about 10 am had a wide nine pointer chasing a doe toward her. She dropped it in his tracks at 50 yds with a neck shot. She's still pretty stoked about it!

At about 4pm, I was watching a field corner that had a few does and fawns feeding. A nice rutted up buck came trotting out grunting and chasing one of the does. He gave me a nice broadside look and I dropped him at 166 yds (ranged it after the shot). I was pretty happy to see an extra kicker making him another nine pointer.

When we were getting ready to leave for the morning watch, she said "let's have a buck slaying Sunday", so we did! That's going to hard to top!

Very nice

[Steuben Jerry]

She got her first buck, a smaller 8 point last year on the opener. Same stand, same neck shot, and dropped it in exactly that same spot. It was also on the same date! Something tells me that stand is going to be locked in for future years! She's got some mojo going there.

It doesn't get any better then that. Congratulations to both of you!!!!

Good question!  Congrats on the fine bucks, do you have any better pics?  They are certainly worthy of fine field pics!

Two real bruisers congrats!!

[Steuben Jerry]

Have a field pic of hers, but didn't have anything to wipe the blood off with. I was mindful of hanging tongues though. No field pics of mine unfortunately. Hard to see in the pic, but there is an extra 1 and 1/2 inch point splitting off the right brow tine. It's visible in the first pic. We're counting the broken tine as a point.
