My daughters first Buck

My daughter Carly Stewart age 12 from Northern, California was fortunate enough to draw her first ever eligible deer tag in the J-20 / X-7B zone for California. She was not able to hunt opening weekend due to the fact that I, her father was hunting X-1 unsuccessfully and also could not hunt during the weekdays due to school. Arriving in X-7B area Saturday afternoon the second weekend things did not look to promising as we did not see one deer with all the bike riders, hikers, motorcycle riders, bird watchers and campers all over the place. With an early start the next morning 10/15/06 and renewed faith we set out to explore some new country north east of Boca Lake. At 7:45 am the opportunity came when Carly was able to attempt a 100 yard shot with her Kimber 84M 308 rifle and Zeiss Conquest Scope at this 20 inch 3x3 Mule Deer. Her shot was close to perfect as the deer bucked and took off. Carly and I tracked the wounded Buck about 300 yards down a canyon where we finally found him laying dead. Carly was excited but extremely calm and I on the other hand was not calm and overly excited and more proud than words can say. A special thank you to one of my best friends Brian Slavich who was in the same country with his son Justin age 14 also drawing the J-20 hunt for helping Carly and I to get this Buck back up the canyon and in the truck. I also thank Chris Aiello for taking the time a month ago to scout me around in that country.

One Very Proud Dad,
Kevin Stewart

Carly, Congratulations on a great first buck. Iâ€™ am glad I was able to be with you for this special moment. Now you can tell everyone that your buck is bigger than your dads.
