[QUOTE="eastTN270, post: 5325480, member: 2850"] Thanks so much. You described her exactly when talking about conscientious of shot placement and respect for the animal. For example: This past fall we were deer hunting. We had looked at a ton of pictures and I would always ask her “where would you shoot it?” She would answer and we would talk about the right and wrong answers. On the youth hunt we see a buck coming from a long ways off and he eventually works his way to 25 yards, turns broadside, and begins eating. We had plenty of time to get into position and get a solid rest while he was coming. I was talking to her the whole time (take you time, be patient, we have plenty of time, find him in the scope, squeeze the trigger, … all the things). She didn’t shoot and the deer wondered off. I asked her when it was over “did you have him in the scope?” She said “yes, right where we had talked about, but I was worried that it wasn’t the exact spot”. She cried for a long time and said that she had missed her only opportunity, but I told her over and over what a mature decision she had made to NOT pull the trigger when she wasn’t certain. [/QUOTE]
