Two hour stalk to within 163 yards and by 3:30 the guts where on the ground.  Priceless and who knows, maybe her only mule deer hunt in her life.On a side note she had clear this trip with her volley ball coach.  Missed practice on Monday and on Tuesday the coach told her she would not start any more.  Coaches for the most part are jocks, think like a jock and act like one but the family has a great, lasting memory as does the grandfather and I am sure the granddaughter.  European mount is on the wall.  db</blockquote>
