This past fall my daughter killed her first buck, a respectable 8 point.

Well she has become a very persistent hunter and loves every minute of it.  Santa brought her a new rifle at Christmas.  She wanted to hunt every chance I could take her.   It's all I can do to keep her from shooting the does.  I keep telling her "leave them, the bucks will come visit does.  Then you shoot the bucks."  After many days of saving doe lives.........it happened.  A big buck walked out of the woods and started toward the does.  He didn't make it.  My daughter had shot her second buck, a very large bodied 7 point buck.  It would have been an nice 8 point but a tine was broke.  That was a Thursday afternoon.  Saturday afternoon another big buck emerged from the woods........this guy....

A nice 11 point with a broken brow tine.  We had it scored today for the local big buck contest.  138  5/8 gives it third place and wins my daughter a .22 rifle.

I happened to have a trailer behind my truck, moving hay, so we pulled the big boy up there and took some pics.  It was real cold during those days and I had the head from her previous 7 point deer in my truck.  So I put it up next to the 11 point.

She is proud and I'm very proud of her, she's my hunting buddy.  And the new rifle works great.  She took her first limit of 3 bucks in Mississippi.

Nice bucks for sure.  I hope she continues to be an outdoorswoman her whole life.  There are beginning to be fewer and fewer folks enjoying the old ways.
