[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 3948110, member: 15527"] My youngest daughter shot and killed her first crow today! 95 yards 1 foot and 4 inches! Bang.....flop.....dead bird! [ATTACH type="full"]339843[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]339844[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]339845[/ATTACH] I had been busy in the shop since early morning today, welding aluminum car and truck rims, and right after stopping by the house for lunch, my youngest daughter met me at the door and told me these were a couple of crows on the corn pile. As always, I asked her if she wanted to shoot this one. Her normal answer has always been - I'm afraid I'll miss! This time though, she said that she felt like it was her time to "make one die"! Boy was I shocked! I grabbed my gun, a shell, then we slip out to the blind. I get the forend nestled on the sand bag, and a 25 pound shot bag filled a little over 3/4 full of rice is placed under the butt stock. I help her get settled in behind the gun, and when we look up, there are over 30 crows on the corn pile! We watch them come and go for a good 10 minutes, then one of the crows hops to the right side of the corn pile, which I later learn is where a little pile of leftover french fries had been placed at earlier. With my daughter ready, I tell her to center the bead on the crow, push the safety off, and slowly squeeze the trigger... A second after she squeezed the trigger, looking through binoculars, the crow looked like it jumped a foot in the air, laid on it's side and kicked a time or two. My daughter screamed and announced to the world - I JUST KILLED A CROW!!! She then took off running with the tape measure, and once at HER dead crow, she put the tape in the middle of the crows body and we both confirmed the exact distance that she shot HER VERY FIRST CROW! So needless to say, after showing her mom and sister her crow, as well as anyone else who was willing to listen, including neighbors, she is not a bonafide CROW KILLER! I'm not sure who was more happy between the two of us, but even though it was just a crow, it still made me very proud! [/QUOTE]
