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.

Congratulations to the huntress! She did well. A fine buck for her.
 
Congratulations to your daughter! Nice shooting with a great cartridge.

Was this her first deer?

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.

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.

Thanks again guys!

Salmon chaser, I think we will start her out on a blackie but one day... that would be unforgettable!
 
7mm08 is a thumper. Very nice shooting.

Congratulations to your daughter!
She’s a fine Huntress!

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 (y).
Thank you for the post and photos.

Blessings,
Dan
