Kate's first deer came in her second season of bow hunting. About 10 minutes after opening time on our first day out this button buck and two of his friends, a yearling doe and a spike, came out to play. This little fella was kind enough to walk right into range at 15yds so Kate decided to take her shot. Unfortunately the lower limb of her bow tapped the tree stand and caused the buck to drop. Luckily for her he dropped forward slightly and the arrow found an artery in his neck. A few stumbles as he wandered down the hill and she had her first. Then we almost managed a double when the spike came just a step from letting me take a shot at 20yds.
Here she is with her prize. She even did most of the gutting.
Then we hung him up and she skinned him and butchered him. Delicious veal for all!
