[QUOTE="TNReb, post: 4978510, member: 676"] My wife has been hunting with me a few times in the past, but never anything too serious. We'd usually just got sit in our box blind and never shoot anything we saw. A couple of years ago she decided she wanted to try to shoot one. I got my 30-30 out and we did some target practice. She was hitting a 3" circle at 100 yards no problem. Pretty good considering she had never shot a gun before that - except for maybe a .22 a few times. We went the next day, and saw a good buck, but she couldn't get a shot at it. She's never took her own gun or even shot a rifle since then. Today we were going to visit my parents in West TN. I was going to hunt this evening and take the boys with me. She asked me to pack her clothes and "that little gun" (the 30-30). She wanted to go. She sat in my 2-man tripod on the edge of a field with the kids. I sat in a hang-on stand in the woods about 30 yards behind her facing the opposite direction. The boys got restless after about 45 minutes, so they walked to their 4 wheeler and went home. I sat in my stand another 20 minutes, then sent my wife a message and told her I was going to come sit in the tripod with her. I was walking to her slowly.. and as soon as I could see out in the field, I saw a doe standing out there. I immediately knelt down and waited.. about 30 seconds later.. BOOOM. I jumped up to see if she hit the deer. There was a doe running hard to the left, and 5 others running the other direction. She said she picked out the biggest one. We immediately found the blood trail. She shot it at about 75 yards and made a perfect shot through the shoulder. Lots of bright red blood. The doe ran just to the edge of the woods and didn't make it any farther. I had more fun this evening than I would have if I killed one myself. I was really surprised that she actually decided to shoot. I figured she just wanted to take a gun so the boys felt like they were really hunting with her. :D [/QUOTE]
