    My daughter Gracie is a real girly, girl. Very sweet, soft, and gentle. I thought she would be the least likely of my kids to really like hunting. Surprisingly, (and enjoyably) she has really taken to it, and loves bowhunting. She has taken quite a few with her gun, but this was her first year bowhunting. After 4 trips to the stand, she finally connected. Shot was a bit high, but that is all part of the learning experience. Proud dad moment for sure!

    That was awesome! In watching her draw on that deer, she had nearly perfect form. Congrats to her!

    Very cool! Congrats to you both!

    My daughter is 9 and has absolutely zero interest in hunting at all. My boys are ate up with it, but she thinks it's mean. I failed to convert her but I guess you never know, things can always change. :lol:
