My oldest Shelby took her first buck Friday afternoon - and started out with a bang. I was right beside her. Deer came out nosing a doe and I told her "We're gonna shoot this deer honey. Don't worry about his rack - just put those crosshairs behind his shoulder and squeeze that trigger." One shot right in the heart and he didn't go 10 yards. 160 yards. A memory neither of us will ever forget. Special thanks to jeffbird for the excellent marksmanship training he gave her last fall. His patience and training gave her all the confidence she needed to make the shot when it counted.  
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.
