She said I go every year and she wanted to see what was so great that I kept coming back to hunt, year after year.
I taught her how to operate and fire a rifle accurately. How to spot where deer frequented. How to use camouflage.
By the time deer season arrived I felt she was ready.
I took her to her deer bind and told her if she shoots…stay put. I would hear her shoot then I’d come from my blind, 300 meters away, and help her track her deer.
No sooner was I out of sight I heard her fire her rifle.
I turned and headed her way. Before 10 seconds passed I heard lots of yelling. I ran to her blind and before long I could see a strange man with his hands up and my wife, rifle aimed, holding him in place.
Running closer to them, I finally could hear that the man was desperately pleading with her….
“Ok lady! It’s a deer! It’s a deer! Just let me get my saddle off it and I’ll leave!”
