Have to brag about Ashley a little bit.

[Sticks11]

So about a month back Ashley said she wanted to go deer hunting with me. I thought "Sure you do." Well she wasn't kidding. We went to the country last weekend and did some target practice together and she actually shot better than me. Well she killed her first deer this past Saturday in Bath Co. And she was a trooper I tell you. We hunted together and I gave her first choice of what we saw.

First to start the morning on the way in on the four wheeler I skim by a downed log partly in the road and it catches her foot and rips it back. She screams and I think it's shattered. Well she limps into the woods, but nothing that morning. After lunch it's feeling worse after it tightened up sitting in the cold all day. But she puts some icy hot and ace bandages on her ankle and knee and heads back out.

Well right before dark she spots 2 does and as they come closer they spot/smell us but don't run off, just stare but knowing something wasn't right. Well she does perfect and plays red light green light everytime they lean to the ground or turn away. Then she blasts a perfect heart shot from 50-60 yards away. I think I was more excited than her. Then I pull it out into a nearby field to field dress it and jokingly I said "Ok, now you have to gut it." Well she jumped right in there no questions asks. I was very impressed. The only thing she had to say really was "Damn, I wish it had antlers though."

Here are a few pics.


A funny one.

And proof she gutted it.

You'd better put a ring on that girl's finger!!!


Ashley, you do need to loose the "sissy" gloves. That looks like something Joe would use to gut a deer.

Actually those are my gloves/sleeves I bought. I don't want that smell from the blood on my gear the next time in the woods.

As for the ring..............I know, we'll see.

Now we know why Jeff had to get his own boat, Eric has replaced him with a better looking partner!!

[CincyBas]

No words can explain that experience with her Eric .
I can't believe she gutted it........

Side Note:
I do the glove thing as well.

[Joe Skeeter]

I use latex gloves, Helps tp keep your hands clean. What was her reaction when she 1st opened her up.

Billy, you hit it right on the head!

[Dave Stewart]

I would say you have two things there:

1. She is definitely a keeper.

2. Don't make her mad if there is a weapon close by.

[flippindrew]

Dave makes a good point. Now thats a woman! CONGRATS!

Now he has taught her to shoot, kill, gut, flash gang signs and taste blood. Let's face it, Eric will screw up one day and I would not want to have to sleep anywhere near Ms. Nugent when that happens.

Just kidding...very cool...now she has not only let Allen put his arm around her but she hunts too.
