She pulled it off …first deer

[KillerFord1977]

Well, after a great week of the daughter home from college, the icing on the cake was a venison dinner.

She shot her first deer this week. A doe.
From a child who hated fireworks and loud noises growing up, she had decided to conquer her fears.
She shot a smaller doe at 200 yards with a .243 and a double lung shot. Dead in its tracks. Couldnt be more proud. Again.
She had a redneck trifecta.

Deer hunting

Cooked the venison tenderloins 3 min each side on a 500 degree grill.
Pulled them off and put them in a cast iron skillet with olive oil and butter on the grill for 3 more min each side.

Phenomenal

(Pic is from previous way I did venison. I didnt take a pic tonight )

So proud
So proud

i never had venison, so i won't know the taste, but happy to hear she had conquered her fear of things, and is moving on up....

now all she has to do is find a man that likes what she likes, and well.......you get to pay for that wedding..!!!!!

 

[PAGunGuy]

You have missed out on some of the best eating there is. We prepare our venison similar to Killer, and there is nothing better!

"We prepare our venison similar to Killer, and there is nothing better!"

somorris, this just leads to a must' ask question ............. just how do you prepare Killer?

LOL! LOL! Yeh, I'm jus' kiddn' of course. Killer would prolly be too tough to prepare on a 500 degree grill!

 

[somorris]

Maybe, just maybe, I could have rearranged my sentence a little!

Thanks.
Very proud … 3-4 yrs ago you would have never caught her even wanting to shoot.
Massive fear .
She did it all on her own terms.
One day she just said “teach me”

Well she definitely went to a very knowledgeable and patient teacher ...

Bravo Zulu, Killer!

I’ll give a nod to @SimonRL for the assistance.
My daughter shot a few sessions with Simon & I.
Kids dont always listen to parents but they do others.
Simon assisted in fundamentals of pistol and helped work with her when she got headstrong with dad
