My six year old daughter recently came lamping with me and likes to read the countrymans. While reading it one night she asked if she could join me the next time i "go out and kill a deer". I thought that she may be too young but she'd watched me skin and butcher deer before and was aware of the reality of the deer being a food source for our family, so i promised her the next fine evening we would go out and see if we could outwit a buck.
Two weeks passed and she was still as eager as when she first asked. So last saturday an hour before sunset we set of with the .243 and strict instructions
