Daughters Utah buck

[Silentstalker]

My daughter was able to shoot this buck yesterday late afternoon. Shot was about 80 yards slightly quartering broadside. Savage 7mm-08 120 gr. Ballistic tip handloads. Buck only made it about 20 yards.

No bullet recovery as it passed thru. I will add a couple of entry and exit hole pics for those who want to see them.

Thank you everyone! Actually this was her second deer. She killed one with a muzzy 2 years ago. She also shot a cow elk with this rifle last year. She is a great shot and loves to get out and hunt!

She told me yesterday she wants to hunt bear!

Let me know when she's ready for bear. I know a very good guide on the peninsula, he'll get her into a big Grizz.

Nice job. Congratulations..My daughter also has a Savage 7-08 that has served her well.

OUTSTANDING!

Congrats to the young hunter and her mentor.

I'm impressed that an 80 yard shot was made in what looks like pretty open terrain. Nice. I like shorter shots, despite my tendency to shoot farther.

Salmon chaser, I think we will start her out on a blackie but one day... that would be unforgettable!

Please congratulate your daughter for me a on a very nice Buck :wink:.
Those 7mm-08 are really a great calibre as I see more & more of them being used here in the great white north :shock:.
I believe that hunting with young people especially family is just about as good as it can get .
Thank you for the post and photos.

Blessings,
Dan
