Baby girls first time hunting

Just wanted to share:
This was her first time hunting, turned 12 years old on the 25 of January. She just passed her hunters safety course last of March and this was the youth hunt here in PA on April 22, 2006. The bird weighed 19.5lbs, 9.5 inch beard and 1 inch spurs.
She missed the first one at 8:00 a.m. at 10yds, I called two in at the same time an hour and a half later, and wasn't to sure she was going to keep the gun still enough to hit this one. She was shaking so hard that I was sure they would see her. They came in so hard they got within 12yds before they stopped, and she didn't miss that time. By the time she got done screaming "I got him I got him" there wasn't a wild animal left in the woods for 3 miles. It was worth the 12 year wait for me.

Congrats and good job on getting your offspring into the "outdoors".
Congradulations!!!! Tell her that there are folks out there she's never even met who are mighty proud of her. And thanks for sharing.

I hope to do it again in a few years with Godaughter.
Great memories!

Seriously,
Good job on her.
And good job on you.
11 years to go before mine's old enough.

Congrates!
Congrats, man. If only all 12 year old girls were as interested in hunting...maybe we'd have less gun control bills in Congress right now...
Her smile is almost as big as the bird....[:D]
Good job to Her and You.[:)]
