Two of my grand daughters got deers this year - all on same day as dad!!!
The oldest grand daughter - Em got hers first she is 14!! she was accompanied by her step dad - (more like dad than stepdad) He has taught the girls everything they know about outdoor stuff. He treats her just like his own - of course it helps that she likes to do fence mending and feeding livestock lol
Then Cassidy age 8 went out with dad and she got one - it was so funny to hear her tell it lol she apparently shot it in the leg but it wasnt running - her dad shot it again "to put it out of misery" - She was still very happy and we accredited the kill to her.
Not to outdone Dad had to get one too but his was last and the smallest of the bunch lol
Deer sausage and jerky for winter - also deer steaks!!! pretty cheap eating for them - glad they like it - my daughter makes it into all kinds of things - uses the ground up deer aliong with hamburger to make chili taco and even hamburger helper!!!
I am so glad the grand kids enjoy doing the outside stuff and arent always sitting in fromt of computer or gaming systems!!!
When not hunting they are tending to cows and their horses. Its nothing for them to saddle up on a nice day and go on trail rides as a family - I am proud of them - my other daughter and her two children often participate also. the youngest who is under two usually stays with us though - he loves to be around horses though - they have a little minature pony and cart - he gets to ride in their front yard in the cart - glad to see them all together and enjoying the outdoors!!! I dont get in on it but enjoy watching from the front porch in my chair lol
