13 year old daughter takes deer!
#19982 - 24/10/04 07:40 PM

Pennsylvania has a 3 day JR/Sr doe season where youth hunters & seasoned citizens can take an antlereless deer with a rifle.I took my 13 year old daughter out Saturday morning along with a friend & his 12 year old son. They both scored on nice doe within the first hour in Butler County (Western PA). I set up in the woods in a ground blind with my daughter. She used my single shot Ruger Number 1B in 25-06. The doe came up through an opening 70 yards out & my daughter took her with one shot dropping her in her tracks

The other JR hunter, Mike was hunting a field edge with his dad when a doe group came into view about 75 yards out. He used his dads Reminton 700 30-06 for a perfect heart shot. Another one shot kill. It was a great day afield. To see the joy in their faces made the hunt even more special. The JR season is an outsatnding idea by the PGC (Pennsylvania Game Commission). It does wonders for getting youths interested in our sport. What an enjoyable outing

Congratulations to the youngsters! We also have a early youth season here but they let 'em shoot the big bucks, which I have misgivings about. I think that tends to cause expectations of big trophy deer if you hunt. We have too many does and an antlerless only hunt would be great for the kids.

Nothing like the smile of your first deer. Those are memories you and they will carry for a lifetime!

I still remember the smile of both my son and daughter all those 20 years ago. Never to be forgotten.

Very touching. I wish the anti-hunting crowed could expierence pride and joy that you and your daughter had those few moments after the kill, I bet you had to fight back the tears. I was 14 when I shot my first and my mom said he was 100 times more excited than I.

That's cool, congratulations. Now are they asking about hunting next year, or next week?

Well done to all. You and your friend have done a great thing to ensure the future of our sport.
Last spring Turkey season I took my sister-in-laws son hunting. He shot a good Turkey with a 20 ga. shotgun. They live in a small town here in Texas. The local paper had a story on his hunt with a picture of him and his bird. He [and the whole family] was so proud.
The youth is the future of our sport, take a kid hunting this year.

glad to see someone is doing their job raising the next generation of hunting wives!

:D

wonderful experience and feeling, I just wish I hadn't waited until I was 25 to do it myself.

if the current rules stand, november of 2017 I will take my firstborn to the field for this same test.

congrats and job well done.
