The Huntress Diana

Some more pictures I haven't yet shared are from Eler Beth's first and second times going deer hunting with her dad.  In the first picture she is about 15-20 feet up a tree in a climbing tree stand.  Thomas took the picture from his own climbing tree stand a few feet higher than hers in a nearby tree; you can just see a bit of his cable in the right of the picture.  She is holding her Rossi .410.

More pictures later.

What a girl! I use to love to go hunting with my husband but we had a ground deer blind. He didn't like it when my stomach grumbled. Paula

What a special time for young Eler Beth.  People now days frown on teaching youngsters the skill of hunting because they say it promotes violence.  I believe the opposite.  I think teaching my children the skills of hunting has in face made them more responsible and compassionate.
We average about one elk in the freezer a year, sometimes more.  Right now we have the one Dickidoo shot, and half of one from his friend who's wife will not cook it for him.  We eat elk or deer at least once a week.  Love it!  But I still love my thick beef steaks better!
