Blaire's first Buck!

On December 30, 2009 my baby girl shot her first deer. She was so excited! This was the first year that she wanted to go hunting and Darby and PawPaw were thrilled. She's so tender-hearted and never wanted to kill anything, but I guess something changed this year and she decided that she wanted to show those boys at school that she could be every bit the hunter that they are! Thanks to Aunt Kelli and Uncle John for providing the deer hunting location and for PawPaw for scouting out the deer and for Darby for being an excellent hunting guide! You'll notice that Blaire put the perfect shot on that sucker...right in the heart! She's only shot a gun a couple of times before this, too. I guess she takes after her Mom (although I think Darby would disagree with that). I think this was the perfect birthday gift for Darby. He got to take his daughter on her first hunt and she actually killed a nice buck! He was so proud.
