Thanks! She handled it well. She saw 8 or more does that morning and this one held still long enough and presented the right shot opportunity. She was pretty stoic through the whole kill and field dressing. She had help from me, but she handled it better than a grown man did last year (a friend of mine).

She has been hunting for a couple years now, but she had not made her first kill yet. In a way, that was a good thing. We hunted WYO for deer last year and saw deer but didn?t have any in range on the land we could hunt. That really made her determined to keep trying. I hope because she worked hard for it that she will continue to have the drive to hunt.

We are hunting 2nd rifle in Colorado starting this weekend. She has buck, bull, and cow tags. I?m hoping she sees something again. I?m not a great elk hunter but there is always hope!
