My 15 year old neice let a nice 8 point walk Saturday morning. It was mounting a doe when she had her only clear (heavy brush) shot. Later I asked why she let him go, she said she didn't have the heart to shot him while in the act. He had worked so hard for it.
Later in the day she let another buck (4 point) walk within 15 yards of her blind. This is her first hunt so I was starting to worry she wouldn't shot. She assured me she thought the 4 point would make a nice buck some day and thought he should have the chance. All I could think is damn she has been listening even when I thought she was ignoring me.
We are heading back out in a few hours. Even if she doesn't harvest her first whitetail this year I'm very proud of the young lady she has become.
