Last year I had a young lady join our hunting party at the cabin. Candace is a big part of my life and has always been looked upon as the daughter I never had. To my surprise, she made it clear she wanted to be a part of the hunts. She recently moved to Kamloops and has started to show a real interest in the outdoors.
The very next first morning with Candace in tow, I harvested a 4 point buck.

This would be the tipping point for Candace in hunting's favor. She was determined to get her lic., which she did last summer. Her grandfather in his late 80's made the decision to give his granddaughter his pristine Browning 7mm, which he had purchased new in the 1970's.
She was good to go!
Unfortunately I had surgery looming and my window of opportunity was small, but we were determined to make it work. The same hunting part assembled with a common goal of getting Candace her first buck.
The stars aligned as we seen better than 1/2 a dozen bucks with 2 harvested, but more importantly Candace shot her first buck!
I thank my friends/hunting team for coming together with a common goal to find Candace success.
Great group!
The happy hunter and grampa's rifle!

WFThank you, special moment for Candace with Grampa's rifle. She said some kind words above the deer and could not wait to share her story with him. The rifle truly made it special!

Blainer you deserved a great hunt in kammy area and the young lady got her first buck mule, whoa! That is something to remember right there!
You two did fantastic . Congratulations on a Blast hunt.
Your four point mule is a good sized wall hanger dude. Blainer and Candace rock.

Holy smokes - you and your buds made a young lady very proud. I can only imagine the conversation and emotion when she shared this hunt with her grandpa. You lads did something very special there - her first deer for sure, but more so to me, you made a grandpa very proud of his grand daughter. Pretty friggin special to play a part in that.
