Sydney's 1st Deer!

Sydney has officially killed her first deer...and not only that, it was a 4 point!! She put the bullet in the right spot at 60 yards! She did everything herself! The best part about all of this was Alan was with her. That was a gift from God. Alan has been trying to do some hunting when he can and take Sydney so she could kill her first deer. Well, Wednesday....it all paid off and she has her first kill and her first blood face smear, LOL...see picture below. Lets just say, she was not happy about the blood part. We just told her it was tradition, but that didn't mean much to a six year old little girl. She was sooooo excited and of course told everyone she could about her deer. It was a great day! A HUGE Thank You to Michael E. for being there to help!!! Just for the record, they were hunting from Alan's ground blind. That thing has come in handy this year since Alan can't get in the box stands.

Alan said he might not ever be able to get up, but he was getting down on the ground to take this picture. With a little help from Michael, he made it up! :-)

It should have been a 6 point, but it was missing a few antlers.

Here comes the blood. She didn't know what was about to happen!

And there went the smile.

She's not very happy, but took a picture with her daddy anyway.

Trent, Alan and Michael.

I'm planning on doing an Alan update tomorrow. I know I have not posted lately, but this has been a crazy month. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. We have not had our family get together yet. We are having our Thanksgiving tomorrow with Alan's family.
