I have no problems with the photos 8up. I happen to think that if more families, kids included, were exposed to the real world, they would know there's more involved to providing the meat they get at the store than what comes on a styrofoam tray wrapped in cellophane.
Congrats to the Mrs. on a fine first buck.

Way to go, Mrs. 8up!!! It's so cool to have him there to share the joy.

One of my grandsons (4 years old) was on hand to see his first field dressing and was fine with it. He loves venison and understood that the insides have to come out. :lol: :lol: Of course, the kids are always around when we process deer and pigs too.

8up, you probably know this, but just in case you don't:

If you can teach her to mount the gun properly, with a firm cheek-weld to the stock in the proper position to see through the scope ... and to keep both eyes open ... then all she has to do is look at the deer with her left eye (if she's shooting right-handed), and the deer or target will automatically be in the sight-picture.

This technique is invaluable in the field. If you mount the firearm well, you'll never spend time "looking for" or "finding" game in the scope. Your open (non-scope) eye will find it naturally, and it will be in the scope's field of view, too. :D

If you can often see deer from your house, keep a rifle handy, and have her practice. I scope every deer I see (hundreds and hundreds of times over the year) and squeeze off "practice shots" ... it makes all the difference when it's "game time" in the woods or field. :D

Don't get me wrong,

I hang and butcher my deer myself. My two boys 7 & 5 love to get in there.
My kids know whta it's all about.

But not everyone may want to see that, given this is a public place,
would you field dress a deer on you front lawn?

Why fuel the fire.
