My wife finally decided the pull the trigger after giving the WT deer population a break for 9 years. She has passed up many trophy bucks but something about this scraggly 5 point cull just made her mad!  She actually shot him in order for my Grandpa who is in poor health this year to put some venison in the freezer. She made a perfect double lung shot and I think it lit her shooting passion up again. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/12/full-20935-373068-britt_5.jpg)

At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

I love to see women getting it done!
Good on her, may there be many more.
Do for yourself as much as you can, eat what nature provides as much as you can. This is the key to sleeping well and living long.

High fence, low fence, no fence, it really doesn't matter as long as you're hunting!

My wife finally decided the pull the trigger after giving the WT deer population a break for 9 years. She has passed up many trophy bucks but something about this scraggly 5 point cull just made her mad! As you are aware....it is not possible for men to understand the female mind, what drives them to do (or not do) the things they do. It can change from day to day or even minute to minute in some cases. So just roll with it. Your huntress made a good shot, her smile suggests she is pleased with her accomplishment and Grandpa gets a full freezer. Can't see any down side to any of that. Congratulations! Thanks for sharing.
Spartans ask not...how many, but where!
