The neighbor kid that we recently introduced to shooting got her first deer this morning. I was getting firewood and heard the shot. Waited an hour and called, and sure enough she had her first deer. I had suggested 243 factory ammo with 100 gr Nosler Partitions, and it worked like a charm. She was real excited, as was her Dad, but they had never skinned a deer before. I offered to do it, and to show them how, and to use my hoist. We had coffee and chatted and deboned the Doe, the remains of which I’ll use for coyote bait.
The kid now says she wants a big buck and a hog. She’s a hunter, that kid. Makes me happy. She’s 12, and has many years of hunting ahead of her.
Also of note is that she put the bullet in the heart. The Partition made a mess, but not a mess the equal of what my Nosler BTs do.
Not my monkeys, not my circus...

That reminds me of the old days when most neighbors were that way! Good job on helping to teach our youngsters!
Thursday at 12:45 PM #33 Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

What you did is a great thing, but out of curiosity, why did you have HER do it under your instruction? Or do you think you showing her was enough for her to do it on her own next time?

TiggerV, the kid and her Dad had never killed a deer, much less skinned one. No way I’d give a little girl a super sharp skinning knife and point her at a hanging deer. Better to let them watch the first one get skinned, and learn how. If her Dad gets one (he missed one yesterday), he’ll skin it while I drink coffee and offer advice.
