Trip Report - daughter's first deer
- My daughter's first deer!
- Shes been putting in a lot of effort countless weekends spent target shooting at various ranges.
- Getting really comfortable with her kid-sized Elude .223 setup.
- There were a few missed opportunities along the way deer spooked from not getting ready fast enough but good learning experiences.
- Over Anzac weekend, everything finally came together.
- Up at the crack of dawn, we spotted three stags on the opposite face.
- She crept into position, staying patient, assessing their movement and waiting until they were in range.
- Made the decision to target the spiker, leaving the bigger stags.
- Took about 10 practice dry-fires while waiting for the optimal shot.
- Ranged and dialled everything perfectly. Quite steep uphill.
- When the moment was right, she sent a perfect shot the spiker dropped within seconds.
- Shot distance was 209m.
- We have great confidence in the Elude .223 with the 73gr ELD-M when you can place the shot well.
- Both myself and a mate who was with us were seriously impressed with the patience and decisiveness she showed.
Absolutely proud moment. Great memories made!
