Hunter’s Journal

Congrats to Madison!  Madison was able to make a perfect shot on this 
doe and harvest her first animal of any kind!  She worked for it 
too!  Over the weekend she belly crawled over 300 yards total, went 
face to face(about 1 foot) from a baby rattler, stepped within 2 feet 
of a 3 foot rattler, bared 90 degree temps while running out of 
water, and got poked with too many cactus to mention.  This stalk was 
the last stalk possible before we had to leave.  The stalk started 
about a half mile away from where they were bedded.  We were able to 
get within about 200 yards and get set up.  They were up out of their 
beds, and started to make their way towards us.  There was one lone 
yucca plant between us and the does that made great cover, but a 
nervy timeframe for Madison.   I told her to wait until she had 
cleared the bush, once the first doe presented a shot I told her to 
take her, and Madison waisted no time in drilling her right behind 
the shoulder with a perfect shot!  I can tell you it was one special 
weekend for father and daughter.
