Nice looking deer and a pretty young lady. You did a great job teaching her how to shoot. Congratulations to her and you.

Re: success: daughters first deer
She did great and a nice first deer! I never thought about a shotgun only area of Montana but hear that the 220 20 ga is more like hunting with a 44 carbine.

Re: success: daughters first deer
That's fantastic! Job well done Dad!
My 220 20 ga hits ya a lot more than a 44 carbine. But I shoot 3" slugs , better accuracy. It's been said the 450 bushmaster is comparable to 20 slugs, I have both and the slugs kick more.
Congratulations to your daughter- I hope she has a long hunting career!

I love the big "happy kid" smile of youngsters.
I am taking my grandson on a buck hunt Sun-Wed and hope to see him smiling like that. He has taken does, hogs, turkey and upland birds, but no trophy buck so far.

Re: success: daughters first deer
I had a Savage 220 and a 450 BM also . Killed deer with both and as you might expect “no problem” . Still have the 220 but the 450 miraculously turned into a Benelli Montefeltro and cashGunnyMack wrote: ↑Sat Nov 17, 2018 6:22 am That's fantastic! Job well done Dad!

Re: success: daughters first deer
thanks fellows !
we just dropped ‘ bucky’ off at the processor and are going to look for a doe this afternoon
last night the buck was hanging from tree in the back yard—— motion light came on and an even larger mule deer buck was standing there a few feet away - looked like he was challenging the dead buck !!
