Watch: Hunting Sisters Recovering Their First Bucks.
“Is this normal?
I’m not cold, I’m just shaking!” A bit later, she leans her head back and says, “Ooooooh!” as she basks in the moment of bliss.
Super sweet!
She tells the tale of her hunt, and when her father mentions a sheep on a distant hillside, she chides him: Nobody cares about the bighorn sheep!
All deer hunters can identify with that!
As my father once said to me while his hands trembled as he reloaded his muzzleloader a few minutes after taking a buck, “The day I stop shaking is the day I stop hunting.” Back to the video… her dad asks, “What do you think?” and all she can muster is, “Whoa.” The next video is of the recovery.
Dad: “Do you think you hit it?” Sydney: “Think so.” Dad: “Why?” Sydney: “I don’t know; it just felt good.” Again, all experienced hunters can identify with a shot that feels right and good.
Then she sets out to find her buck, which she does in short order.
As both sisters say in their videos, “Rock & Roll!
If you are a deer hunter, or just have a Facebook account and don’t ban hunting content, chances are good that you have seen the first video below. A 9-year-old girl named Savannah had just taken her first deer. In a trembling, wide-eyed state of excitement, she asks her father. “Is this normal? I’m not cold, I’m just shaking!”
A bit later, she leans her head back and says, “Ooooooh!” as she basks in the moment of bliss. Super sweet!
She tells the tale of her hunt, and when her father mentions a sheep on a distant hillside, she chides him:
Nobody cares about the bighorn sheep!
A pretty good video… although the father did fail a little when he denied that the “dead” deer had moved its head. But hey, nobody’s perfect.
Then, this past deer season, Savannah’s younger sister Sydney (age 11 at the time) got to take her own first buck — a real beauty — and once again the family shared the moment with the world.
